Description and Table of Contents
Description
This text encompasses the most essential information in the field of pediatric radiology in a concise, easy-to-use source. Highly focused, succinct chapters, organized by symptom, help readers to select the most appropriate imaging approaches and arrive at correct diagnoses based on patients' presenting signs. Most significantly, the book separates coverage of neonates from material on older infants and children, since radiographic presentation differs so dramatically between these two groups.Includes valuable chapters on the neonate with respiratory distress, the neonate with birth trauma, the child and adolescent with abdominal pain and recognising cases of child abuse
Describes all relevant imaging modalities used in pediatric radiology, including conventional radiology, computed tomography, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear medicine
Begins each section with images and descriptions of normal anatomy as a foundation for better understanding of abnormal radiologic images
Discusses specific technical considerations and common mistakes, and provides memory hints and charts for quick reference
Features over 525 outstanding, never-before-published illustrations that cover the entire gamut of pediatric imaging findings
