Imaging Children: 2-Volume Set

Imaging Children 2e provides a comprehensive, practical reference for the paediatric radiologist and the general radiologist involved in the routine, or occasional diagnostic examination of children. Covering all organ systems, it outlines the most appropriate radiological evaluation and facilitates accurate diagnosis through a practical "picture matching" approach whereby the radiologist can compare his or her own interpretation with those of the experts in the book. Each section contains a list of differential diagnoses which are divided into common and rare categories as well as diagnostic algorithms. The book takes an integrated multi-modality approach to paediatric radiological evaluation and diagnosis, each condition incorporates the most appropriate and cost-effective procedure whether it be plain-film, ultrasound, CT, MRI., or Nuclear Medicine.
