Description
For all radiologists diagnosing infants and children, knowledge of best practices in pediatric imaging is essential to safely obtaining high-quality images and achieving accurate diagnoses. This practical text covers current guidelines and key topics in the field, including choice of modality, equipment and dosages, child-specific diseases, typical imaging findings, differential diagnostic aspects, and safety factors. This book is invaluable for all clinicians and radiologists who diagnose and manage this sensitive population.
Special Features:
- Explores the use of all standard imaging modalities in children as compared to adults, especially with regard to ultrasound, CT, and MRI
- Supplies more than 600 high-quality images to help in interpreting findings, including imaging of suspected child abuse
- Shows how to adapt examination protocols and equipment requirements for the specialized needs of pediatric patients
- Describes important safety protection measures in children utilizing the ALARA principle of radiation exposure (As Low As Reasonably Achievable)
- Summarizes a wide array of pediatric diseases and disorders in a concise, checklist format, including clinical features, imaging findings, differential diagnosis, associated syndromes, and treatment recommendations
- Includes lists of indications, summary tables, imaging protocols, case studies, and quiz questions to test your knowledge
This book provides a fundamental understanding of imaging in infants and children and is an ideal, practice-oriented reference for residents, fellows in pediatric radiology, and general radiologists.
