Pediatric ENT Radiology

This is a comprehensive textbook of imaging of the ear, nose and throat in children. Each of the 25 chapters is devoted to a particular disorder or imaging technique. Both usual and unusual aspects of imaging are presented, and use of the latest techniques is described. The book is also unique in drawing together information from the radiology and clinical ENT literature. The organisation of the book into numbered paragraphs makes it particularly easy to use as a reference work. All of the authors are radiologists or other healthcare professionals who see and treat large numbers of children. They include distinguished experts from North America, Europe and Asia, ensuring that a global overview of the subject is provided. This book will be of great value to radiologists in training, practising radiologists, ear, nose and throat surgeons in training, and practising ear, nose and throat clinicians.
