FOUR STARS from Doody's Star Ratings(TM)This is a very useful book, particularly for junior residents on their first rotation in neuroradiology or pediatric radiology. The discussion of all imaging modalities, including ultrasound, is very well done. This is a must-have for all residency libraries. -- Doody's Book Review (Score: 95)Written in the concise and engaging style of leading neuroradiologist Dr. Asim Choudhri, Pediatric Neuroradiology is a highly practical reference focusing on the most common, serious, and challenging conditions seen in the specialty. This book offers concise guidelines on very complex topics related to the areas of pediatric neuroradiology in which it is crucial that radiologists make correct diagnoses.Key Features:

• Focuses on the practical, clinical needs of neuroradiologists and pediatric radiologists, as well as all radiologists, neurosurgeons, and neurologists who care for children
• Sections dedicated to the brain, head and neck, and spine
• More than 780 high-quality radiographs, MRIs, and CT scans clarify the information presented in the book
• Three appendices containing information on protocolling and interpreting/reporting studies aid correct interpretation of the studies
• A quick reference guide enables clinicians to determine the optimal approach to imaging evaluation of neurological symptoms and conditions in children
