Description
An international team of distinguished editors and contributors provide current, comprehensive, and practical guidance on the performance, interpretation, and coordination of all imaging procedures in children. An integrated, multi-modality approach outlines the most appropriate and cost-effective procedure for both common and rare conditions, whether plain film, ultrasound, CT, MRI, or nuclear medicine. Nearly 5,000 images enable radiologists to ?picture-match' their images and interpretations with those of the experts. Lists of differential diagnoses and diagnostic algorithms further facilitate the recognition and interpretation of radiological features.

Audience
Practitioners and residents in Pediatric Radiology, General Radiologists, and Pediatricians
