Features: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) is a new emerging infectious disease and also a severe acute respiratory syndrome. In early 2003, SARS spread sequentially in China. To control the spread of SARS and promptly summarize the experience in imaging diagnosis of SARS as well as the uniqueness of pulmonary inflammation, doctors from the Department of Radiology at Peking University Jishuitan Hospital compiled this book for reference by medical professionals, offering significant practical value. SARS is a newly emerged disease, and most clinical and radiological doctors are still relatively unfamiliar with it, requiring the use of chest imaging images of typical SARS patients as a reference. The authors of this book accumulated a collection of chest imaging images of SARS patients under dangerous conditions with close proximity transmission and generally urgent clinical situations. These images were processed using digital techniques, resulting in satisfactory image quality and are invaluable resources. This book provides reliable references and foundations for clinical and radiological doctors who have limited experience with SARS cases.
