BookHarriet J. Paltiel, Edward Y. Lee, editors.
Summary: This book is a unique, authoritative and clinically oriented text on pediatric ultrasound. It is your one-step, comprehensive reference for up-to-date information on pediatric ultrasound, addressing all aspect of congenital and acquired disorders encountered in clinical practice. The easy-to-navigate text is divided into 20 chapters. Each chapter is organized to cover the latest ultrasound techniques, normal development and anatomy, anatomic variants, key clinical presentations, characteristic ultrasound imaging findings, differential diagnosis and pitfalls where relevant. With more than 2000 images, examples of new technological developments such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound and elastography are included. Written by internationally known pediatric radiology experts and editorial team lead by acclaimed authors, Harriet J. Paltiel, MDCM and Edward Y. Lee, MD, MPH, this book is a practical and ideal guide for practicing radiologists, radiology trainees, ultrasound technologists as well as clinicians in other specialties who are interested in pediatric ultrasound.
