Imaging in Pediatrics – Definitive Guide

Imaging in Pediatrics is an authoritative textbook for radiologists, pediatricians, medical students, and residents, offering a thorough, evidence-based approach to diagnostic imaging in children. This book emphasizes clinical application, safety considerations, and accurate interpretation across all pediatric age groups.

The text covers a wide range of imaging modalities, including conventional radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine. It provides guidance on selecting the appropriate imaging modality for specific pediatric conditions, minimizing radiation exposure, and interpreting findings in the context of clinical presentations.

Organized by organ systems and disease categories, the book addresses congenital anomalies, neonatal disorders, cardiopulmonary conditions, gastrointestinal and hepatic disorders, musculoskeletal injuries, neurological conditions, genitourinary diseases, and oncology. Special sections cover pediatric emergencies, trauma imaging, and rare or complex pediatric pathologies.

Key features include high-quality images, diagrams, tables, and flowcharts that illustrate imaging findings and decision-making processes. Each chapter includes clinical pearls, “key points,” and case examples that demonstrate practical application in real-world settings.

The book emphasizes radiation safety and age-appropriate imaging protocols, supporting adherence to the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle. Guidance on sedation, contrast use, and patient positioning ensures safe and effective imaging for neonates, infants, and children of all ages.

Imaging in Pediatrics is suitable for radiology trainees, pediatric residents, practicing pediatricians, and multidisciplinary teams involved in child healthcare. Its clear organization, visual clarity, and clinically focused content make it ideal for exam preparation, bedside reference, and professional practice.
