This open access book offers an essential overview of chest, heart and vascular system imaging. Over the last few years, there have been considerable advances in this area, driven by both clinical and technological developments. Written by leading international experts and teachers, the chapters are disease-oriented and cover all relevant imaging modalities, with a focus on magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. IDKD books are rewritten (not merely updated) every four years, which means they offer a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art in imaging. The book is clearly structured and features learning objectives, abstracts, subheadings, tables and take-home points, supported by design elements to help readers navigate the text.

It will particularly appeal to general radiologists, radiology residents, and interventional radiologists who want to update their diagnostic expertise, as well as clinicians from other specialties who are interested in imaging for their patient care.

He has published 268 original papers, 64 other publications including review articles, 28 book chapters and four books, mostly in the field of musculoskeletal imaging, with an emphasis on joint imaging and the spine. He has served as a co-editor of the journal of Skeletal Radiology for nearly a decade. He has been actively involved in a number of committees of scientific societies, including the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM), the International Skeletal Society (ISS) the European Society of Radiology (ESR) and the Swiss Society of Radiology (SGR-SSR). He has served as the President of the ISS from 2022 to 2024. He has been the President of the Swiss Board’s Examination in Radiology for 11 years. He has served as a Co-Director of the International Diagnostic Course in Davos since 2005.

Rahel A. Kubik-Huch is Director of the Institute of Radiology and the Department of Medical Services and a member of the executive board at the Kantonsspital Baden in Switzerland. She has a strong interest in female imaging with expertise in all imaging modalities and imaging-guided minimal invasive breast interventions. She was a longstanding Deputy Editor of European Radiology and is a past President and Honorary Member of the executive board of the Swiss Society of Radiology. She is course Co-Director of the International Diagnostic Course Davos (IDKD) since 2014. She has published numerous research articles in peer-reviewed journals, contributed to several book chapters and has been an invited speaker in her area of expertise at a number of national and international symposia and meetings.

Justus E. Roos is the Director of the Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine at the Universtiy Teaching and Research Hospital Luzern (LUKS) in Lucerne, Switzerland, a position he has held since 2015. He was appointed Full Professor at the University of Zürich, Switzerland, in 2022. Dr. Roos received his MD degree from the University of Berne, Switzerland, in 1997, followed by his Radiology Residency at the University Hospital Zürich until 2003.

He was subsequently promoted to Associate Professor at Duke University, North Carolina, USA, in 2012.

Dr. Roos’s academic and clinical work has been consistently focused on chest and cardiovascular imaging, with a strong emphasis on Computed Tomography (CT) as the cornerstone imaging modality. His research has included advanced imaging techniques, such as functional MR imaging of pulmonary diseases, Xenon-ventilation MR, and the application of artificial intelligence in radiology. He has been an experienced user and advocate of teleradiology, providing services to regional hospitals in central Switzerland.

In addition to his clinical and research responsibilities, Dr. Roos is actively involved in teaching. He contributes to the Medical Master program in Lucerne at the University of Lucerne. He has been a long-standing educator at the International Diagnostic Course Davos (IDKD), where he has employed innovative teaching techniques. Since 2022, he serves as a Director at IDKD, overseeing the new online offerings as well as the chest and cardiovascular imaging courses in Davos and internationally.
