Pediatric Neuroimaging

Edición de la obra Pediatric neuroimaging

A textbook on the use of imaging modalities for the understanding of the pathological processes that occur in the pediatric brain. MR is strongly emphasized in pediatric neurodiagnosis as being by far the best modality for imaging the pediatric brain. Cranial sonograms are included in those areas where it is appropriate, as are discussions of nuclear medicine studies (cisternograms, shunt studies, SPECT, PET), CT, and plain skull film. For this edition, coverage is expanded in the chapters on destructive and metabolic disorders, and the chapters on developmental brain anomalies and tumors are reorganized and expanded to include the orbits and skull.
