Imaging of the Pediatric Head, Neck, and SpineThis reference provides coverage of the broad range of cranial and spinal diseases detectable through modern neuroimaging. Each chapter is highly organized, presenting the epidemiology of the disease discussed and then following with the significant clinical and imaging features of each entity. In addition to the brain and spine, extensive coverage of the orbit, face, temporal bones, paranasal sinuses, airway and neck is also provided. There are over 1000 ultra-sound and CT scans, plus a special Doppler section. |
