Fundamentals of Pediatric Imaging

Fundamentals of Pediatric Imaging, Third Edition presents the foremost techniques of pediatric medical image analysis and processing. It includes advanced imaging techniques, neuro applications, and highlights basic anatomy needed to understand this complex specialty. The book introduces the theory and concepts of pediatric digital image analysis and newly revised information on quality and safety topics, imaging modalities, imaging applications, and new discoveries in diseases and treatments. The newly revised edition provides updates in areas of expertise including neurologic, musculoskeletal, cardiac, chest, and GU imaging. Edited by Lane F. Donnelly, MD, recipient of the Society of Pediatric Radiology’s 2009 Singleton-Taybi Award, this book is sure to be a prime reference in pediatric medical imagining.

“"Clinicians always aim for the best practice for the benefit of their patients in front of them. In order to fulfil this aim they need to apply their own clinical experience, but must be abreast with the expanding knowledge and means available to them for the most appropriate investigations for the problem. The field of imaging has been advancing at a rate never seen before. The developments in the technology have made it possible to refine imaging even of very young children. Greater understanding of normal structures and functions are emerging. Clinician would love to grasp that knowledge the contributors of the third edition of FUNDAMENTALS OF PEDIATRIC IMAGING have complied in this very manageable size with relevant information in simple language detailing the findings and outlining the context of each imaging. This book will add to the richness of any reference material accessible to the students and practitioners across the various disciplines of Pediatrics. Illustrations and salient points about the conditions makes this book a great quick reference material for anyone practicing Pediatrics. A short introduction of the techniques available, a cross-section of congenital aberrations and peculiar findings from examination of various organ systems in Pediatric age group have been illustrated. It certainly helps to know what imaging to order and to correctly interpret the findings and communicate with clarity with colleagues working in the teams. Imaging of various systems from Musculoskeletal system, Airways, neuro, GI and Genito urinary systems are very well covered and will be particularly of interest to Community pediatricians for comprehensively deal with their patients." -- BACCH Newsletter”
