Featuring 150 cases and over 400 high-quality images, Pediatric Imaging Cases offers a complete survey of the field of pediatric radiology. Cases are formatted as questions and answers, allowing for self-assessment, complete with relevant radiologic findings, differential diagnoses, teaching points, further steps in management, and suggested further readings. Part of the Cases in Radiology series, this book offers a comprehensive overview of the clinical issues of pediatric radiology: cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal system, genitourinary system, spine, neuroradiology, chest and airway, and musculoskeletal system. Ideal for residents preparing for board exams as well as seasoned clinicians wishing to test their knowledge, Pediatric Imaging Cases provides a thorough investigation of the field.
Since radiologists learn by seeing, this book’s case-based format is ideal. The 102 cases unknown and 217 supplemental cases throughout depict scenarios encountered in daily practice, with emphasis on the growing area of sports injuries and traumatic disorders in older children and adolescents. The cases are illustrated with nearly 600 high-resolution MRI images, as well as complementary plain films, scintigrams, and CT scans. Each case outlines the clinical history, findings, and differential diagnosis. Clinical pearls, questions and answers, and concluding summaries are also included. An orthopedic surgeon provides commentary where appropriate to share the insight gained from sports medicine.
125 cases addressing "real-life" clinical problems Complete with the insights of leading pediatric radiologists, Teaching Atlas of Pediatric Imaging provides 125 cases that address the challenging "real-life" clinical problems that you are likely to encounter. Each chapter presents a different case with a complete patient work-up that includes clinical presentation, diagnosis, differential diagnoses, radiological and clinical findings, treatment summary and suggested readings. With a view to providing the opportunity for self-assessment, the authors omit the diagnosis from the first pages of each case to enable self-testing and review. Highlights: Easy-to-access arrangement of cases based on anatomy: head and neck, chest, heart, abdomen, pelvis, and the musculoskeletal system Coverage of a wide spectrum of diseases, from the very common to more important uncommon entities, including congenital heart disease, bone dysplasias and more Differential diagnoses for each case, as well as information on etiology, pathology, treatment, and complications "Pearls" and "Pitfalls" that help you identify important points and avoid errors in image interpretation Here is a valuable resource for the clinician at every level, from the resident preparing for the radiology board examinations, to the practitioner seeking the Certificate of Added Qualification in Pediatric Radiology, to the general radiologist or pediatrician seeking a practical reference text.
The highest-yield, most complete pediatric radiology exam preparation and learning tool available today Top 3 Differentials in Pediatric Radiology by renowned pediatric radiologist Rebecca Stein-Wexler and colleagues is part of a series of radiology case books that mirror the highly acclaimed O'Brien classic, Top 3 Differentials in Radiology. Each case is formatted as a two-page unit. The left page features clinical images, succinctly captioned findings, and pertinent clinical history. The right page includes the key imaging gamut, differential diagnoses rank-ordered by the "Top 3," additional diagnostic considerations, and clinical pearls. This book includes an exceptionally diverse array of common and important gamuts encountered in pediatric radiology practice. It is organized into six sections: head and neck imaging; chest, cardiac, and airway imaging; gastrointestinal imaging; genitourinary imaging; musculoskeletal imaging; and brain and spine imaging. Each section begins with a series of differential-based cases and concludes with important "Roentgen Classics" – cases with imaging findings characteristic of a single diagnosis. Key Highlights More than 500 high-quality images enhance diagnostic skills Approximately 800 pathological processes/differentials encompassed in 194 high-yield cases Concise discussion highlights key clinical and imaging manifestations for each important differential diagnosis An appendix and list of differential diagnoses serve as a curriculum guide for trainees and educators alike This volume provides an exceptionally robust board review and is equally invaluable for clinical practices focused on pediatric radiology. It is a must-have resource for radiology residents, pediatric radiology fellows, and staff radiologists preparing for the ABR core, certifying, and pediatric CAQ exams. It is also an essential tool for radiologists, pediatricians, and surgeons who order or interpret pediatric imaging tests.
