The increasing use of magnetic resonance imaging as a diagnostic tool continues to enhance the practice of medicine. The same is true in paediatric medicine. This book presents over 2000 illustrations to guide the practitioner in the interpretation of MRI scans. Emphasis is placed either on disorders that are very common or disorders where magnetic resonance makes a significant impact on patient management. For each disease the disorder is discussed in terms of its etiology, pathology, clinical findings, MRI appearance and comparison of MR with other modalities.
