Pediatric Imaging: Case Review E-Book (eBook)

Pediatric Imaging: Case Review is a quick review of common or rare but classic pediatric cases that tests your knowledge of pediatric imaging. Featuring updated pediatric body and pediatric neuro-imaging cases from fetus to young adolescents, this case review book includes over 300 images and 600 all-new multiple-choice questions, providing residents and radiologists with a current review of key pediatric imaging information.

• Images and descriptions address most common/classic, as well as several rare but critical entities of pediatric radiology in a single source.
• Distinguish between common and rare diagnoses with case studies organized into ''Opening Round,'' ''Fair Game,'' and ''Challenge'' sections that present varying levels of difficulty and occurrences.

• Features completely updated cases throughout -- including new cases on congenital heart disease -- and over 300 new images.
• Expanded cases include advanced and state-of-the art imaging modalities (i.e.fetal MRI and CTA/MRA of the heart).
• Provides expanded coverage of radiation dose reduction, in addition to new patient management, physics, quality and safety, and non-interpretive skills content.
• 600 all-new multiple-choice questions are designed to mimic the format of core board and certification exams.
• Incorporates up-to-date disease classification systems (e.g. ISSVA 2014 of vascular anomalies).
