Synopses & Reviews
Efficiency is the key word at the heart of the concept for this diagnostic atlas - efficiency of presentation and diagnostic efficiency achieved through its use.
The contents are arranged in chapters according to organ or body part. Each chapter begins with a list of the radiographic findings referring to the relevant table/page number for that finding. The text within these tables is presented under three columns: possible diagnoses, radiographic findings, and general comments. Corresponding sample images of the highest quality are then provided for the more common conditions throughout. Rare diseases are marked with asterisks and are illustrated where appropriate.
The hard-pressed radiologist will welcome this work as an efficient and reliable guide to the interpretation of pediatric images.
Review
Accurate and succinct...excellent figures and diagrams...especially helpful to those in training and general radiologists. --RadiologyAn excellent book which provides a quick answer to the majority of problems in pediatric radiology..each chapter is richly illustratedwith radiographs of good quality..a must for physicians who come in contact with diagnostic imaging. --Acta RadiologicaThe strength of this book lies in the thorough knowledge of pediatric pathology and the mostly excellent illustrations...virtually everything a pediatric radiologist might need in his daily work is listed...impressive... --European RadiologyThe authors ... have produced a volume that will find a permanent place in the reference library... The book is clearly organized, beginning with a superb table of contents and index... The authors do excel in their presentation of plain-film radiology. Particularly noteworthy are the superb sections on pulmonary and osseous pathology... Especially noteworthy are those detailing rib anomalies, alterations in cardiac silhouette due to specific cardiac chamber hypertrophy or dilation, and a summary of the anorectal anomalies. --AuntMinie.com, 02/2003
