Imaging of the pediatric chest continues to evolve rapidly – and this is reflected in the fact that all of the chapters in this second edition of the classic and superbly illustrated reference work have been extensively updated. Readers will find additional disease-specific information and numerous new illustrations. The role of advanced technology in the diagnosis of pediatric chest disorders is highlighted, special attention being paid to the technical aspects of modern imaging modalities, their indications, and the diagnostic information that they supply.
