Full Description
Covering the entire spectrum of this fast-changing field, the fourth edition of Diagnostic Imaging: Pediatric Neuroradiology is an invaluable resource for general radiologists, pediatric neuroradiologists, neurologists and neurosurgeons, and trainees-anyone who requires an easily accessible, highly visual reference in this complex area of imaging. Drs. Kevin R. Moore, Luke L. Linscott, and a team of highly regarded experts provide up-to-date information on nearly 280 diagnoses in short, detailed chapters to help you make informed decisions at the point of care. The text is lavishly illustrated, delineated, and referenced, making it a useful learning tool for readers at all levels of experience as well as a handy reference for daily practice.
Provides a comprehensive, expert reference for quickly accessible, detailed information about neoplastic and nonneoplastic disorders affecting the brain, head, neck, and spine of children to help you make specific diagnoses and recommendations for further imaging or referral
Contains numerous new chapters and sweeping updates throughout, covering advances in vessel wall imaging that provide more specific diagnoses of focal cerebral arteriopathy in children; newly identified pediatric infectious diseases, including human parechovirus; congenital brain malformations; MOGAD and NMOSD correlating to newly developed consensus standards; an up-to-date approach to pediatric demyelinating disorders; and more
Includes current tumor criteria from the WHO Classification of Tumours: Central Nervous System Tumours (fifth edition), including advancements in molecular genomics and newly determined categories that identify tumor types/subtypes and facilitate differentiating subtypes
Features nearly 6,000 images (in print and online-only), including radiologic images, full-color medical illustrations, clinical and gross pathology photographs, and histologic images
Clearly demonstrates procedural steps, complications, treatment alternatives, variant anatomy, and more?all fully annotated to highlight the most important diagnostic information
Offers a vivid, full-color design that makes the material easy to read, with an extensive image gallery and "thumbnail" visual differential diagnoses for each entity
