Pediatric Ultrasound

Resumen del Libro

This book is concerned primarily with three aspects of pediatric ultrasound – how, why and when? Each chapter is introduced by the how: how to scan and what special techniques or tricks to use when scanning children, e.g. the adrenal gland. The why and when discuss the pathology and use of other imaging (or sequence of other imaging) – which is one of the skills in pediatric radiology where the limitation of both radiation exposure and number of examinations is of paramount importance. The intent of the book is to provide the reader with clear and referenced imaging guidelines for common and controversial dilemmas in pediatric issues. It will be of value to clinicians, e.g. pediatricians, GPs and general adult radiologists who image children. The authors are all recognized experts in the field. –Book Jacket.
