    Summary: This book aims to provide readers practical information on clinical diagnosis of pediatric neurological diseases. Topic areas include congenital malformations of the brain and cerebral vessels, brain tumors, intracranial infections, vascular diseases, metabolic encephalopathy, brain damage and destructive diseases. Utilizing a case-based format, the procedure of streamline disease recognition is presented in a clear and concise manner. Each case is supported by representative images, a discussion of the disease, and a description of the most characteristic imaging features of the disorder. Written by radiologists who have been involved pediatric imaging diagnosis for a long time, this case-based book will be a valuable reference for radiologists, paediatricians and neurologists, as well as those who are interested in related field.

    Psychological tests are bound with specific goals. Four goal aspects are differentiated: status vs. processdiagnostics, normoriented vs. criterionoriented diagnostic, testing vs. inventarization, measurement of true scores vs. decision oriented diagnostic. Every diagnostic procedure is characterized by a specific personality theory and theory of measurement (classical vs. probabilistic test model). The diagnostic procedures traditionally used for evaluating drugs prefer status diagnostic, normoriented diagnostic, testing and measurement of true scores. Similar one-sidedness in personality theory and theory of measurement restrict validity and usefulness of psychological tests. In clinical practice we find a theoretically and empirically unjustified restriction in the selection of measurement devices on ratings and questionnaires. If we suppose multidimensionality of drug induced changes, we must apply a multimethod approach in outcome studies and use beside ratings and questionnaires behavior observations, objective tests, psychophysiological and neurophysiological measures. We propose a descriptive taxonomy of methods for planning multimethod outcome and process studies. From this taxonomy the methods of measurement for effects and side effects of drugs may be derived. The necessity of the multimethod approach is confirmed by empirical research. With this concept, the following neglected research questions become more obvious: concordance and discordance, synchrony and desynchrony of methods of measurement. We conclude with recommendations for clinical practice and research of outcome and process effects in drug therapy.
