Pediatric Chest Imaging

Both editors have been Chairs of large pediatric radiology departments: Dr. Lucaya was Chair at Vall d'Hebron Hospital, Barcelona, Spain, and Dr. Strife was Chair at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, USA. They have both had a life-long interest in pediatric chest imaging, and are great teachers and writers. They have selected internationally acclaimed authors, all of whom have expertise in imaging the pediatric chest. The international approach adds diversity of opinion as well as guaranteeing expertise in selected areas of controversy. All authors are advocates for the reduction of radiation in children.
