This book, co-authored by an internationally acclaimed team of experts in the field of pediatric oncologic imaging, provides a comprehensive update on new advances in diagnostic imaging as they relate to pediatric oncology. In contrast to other oncologic imaging texts focusing on the radiology of specific tumors, this book emphasizes the important fundamentals of imaging that every child with a new or treated malignancy receives. Guidance is provided on the selection and use of appropriate imaging techniques, with individual chapters devoted to each of the major cross-sectional imaging modalities used in the detection and follow-up of pediatric cancers, including PET-CT, PET-MRI, whole-body MRI, and diffusion-weighted MRI. Additional nuclear medicine techniques are addressed, and detailed attention is paid to more advanced areas of practice such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound, pediatric interventional radiology techniques, radiation treatment planning, and radiation dose considerations (ALARA). Other areas covered include screening of children with cancer predisposition syndromes, treatment related complications, potential pitfalls during neuro-oncologic imaging, and the risks and benefits inherent in post-therapy surveillance imaging.

Stephan D. Voss, MD, PhD is an Associate Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School and Division Chief of Oncologic Imaging and Director of Nuclear Medicine at Boston Children's Hospital, where he also serves as Radiology Vice-Chair for Quality and Safety. Dr. Voss graduated from Princeton University and after a 2-year Fulbright fellowship at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, completed his PhD training in Human Cancer Biology and MD training at the University of Wisconsin. He completed general radiology training at the Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston, followed by Pediatric Radiology fellowship training at Boston Children's Hospital, where he has been on the staff for more than 15 years. Dr. Voss has also been active in the multi-institutional Children's Oncology Group, where he is a member of the Hodgkin Disease Committee, as well as Clinical Director of the COG Phase 1 Consortium Imaging Center. Dr. Voss is the author/co-author of more than 90 peer-reviewed publications and numerous chapters and review articles focused on oncology and oncologic imaging. He serves as a reviewer for multiple Radiology and Clinical Oncology publications.
