Synopsis:

With a strong focus on principles of pediatric imaging, there is no better text in pediatric radiology than this volume. It provides core material that both residents and practitioners can use as an up-to-date guide for study. Its user-friendly tone meansit can be read cover to cover or used as a quick, off-the-shelf source of information. As with the first edition, this new text is written by Dr. Blickman, a hands-on, award-winning teacher and active writer.

Provides concise, comprehensive coverage of the basics of interpreting diagnostic imaging studies of infants and children -- precisely the information needed to pass the Boards or CAQs. Features more than 650 state-of-the-art multimodality images, including color Doppler, correlating each disease with various types of imaging. Discusses the use of all appropriate imaging modalities for assessment in each organ system chapter, helping the reader make clinically-relevant decisions in practice. Numerous boxes and tables list pearls, key concepts, differentials, and more, helping the reader absorb information through the use of concise summaries and repeated emphasis of key facts. Integrates the diagnosis of emergency conditions into each chapter as appropriate. Pays special attention to growth and development, helping the reader navigate this uniquely important aspect of pediatric studies. Places principles in a clinical context by discussing various diseases with associated clinical syndromes, causes, findings, and imaging appearances.

Fully 40% more illustrations than the first edition, and 40% more text, reflecting the numerous advances in pediatric radiology over the last several years.

Expanded coverage of interventional radiology, trauma and tumours.

Greatly expanded coverage of the role of the radiologist in determining child abuse.

Increased integration of nuclear medicine throughout the book, where appropriate.

Review:

“It provides a good starting point for establishing a complete understanding of pediatric radiology for junior residents and a comprehensive text for medical students. In addition, it provides a comprehensive, accessible, and quick reference for senior residents and practicing general radiologists. -Academic Radiology

"The text is well written and easy to read...This is a good textbook for most general departments, radiographers with a peadiatric interest and radiological trainees." Rad Magazine, February 2010
