About this title

Review

Written by and for paediatricians and radiologists, the answer to each case study includes a 'clinical hot list' and a 'radiology hot list'. This enables the reader to grasp the salient points of each case quickly and easily. The book is clearly written and contains a lot of information. Images are good quality and demonstrate the abnormalities well.
Pediatric Radiology

This book is very clearly set out with a useful initial section of interpretation, rules, and tools with each of the 100 or so cases. There are clear answers and a useful list of radiology points and clinical relevant facts to the condition demonstrated...the book will be a useful aid to doctors training for their examinations and, indeed, could be a useful text for CPD for consultants. It is competitively priced at £17.50.

For the registrar about to be examined in radiology, I recommend the book as a pre-examination tutorial containing both common and important examination material.

an excellent selection of both common and rare conditions...that will spark enthusiasm in those hours leading up to the exams. It has a welcome and chatty style which serves to entice the reader.

Synopsis

Written for postgraduates revising for exams in paediatrics and radiology, this study-aid covers a wide range of paediatric pathology, including the subject of imaging. The book contains around 100 different cases. Each case comprises a radiological image or images, a succinct clinical history, brief questions and a discussion that includes a synopsis of the condition illustrated and suggestions for further reading. The aim is to identify the radiological abnormality and to select the most likely diagnosis within the clinical context. Most cases are common paediatric and neonatal problems although rarer conditions are included. Suggested answers follow an explanation of the radiological findings. In addition to these cases there is an introductory chanpter on basic concepts in imaging which describes the different modalities available, provides the scientific information required to help the reader understand the different techniques, and considers the relative cost of different investigations.
