Description
A major two-volume textbook covering all imaging problems in children. It provides an organised, accessible visual guide to the whole field of paediatric imaging. IMAGING CHILDREN contains sufficient details about basic paediatric radiology for the general radiologist to use it as a reference, while the established paediatric radiologist will find sufficient coverage of both common and rare conditions. The book is divided into sections covering the major body systems and all imaging techniques are discussed as appropriate to the clinical problem. For ease of use, the book offers a familiar and standardised approach within each chapter. The experienced editors have provided thorough coverage of all the practical techniques used, i.e. 'how to handle the child.' Most sections contain a list of symptom- and findings-based mini-Gamuts (lists of differential diagnoses) to assist clinical decision-making. In addition, the book is extensively illustrated to enable the user to picture-match"."
