Imaging of the pediatric chest has changed significantly over the past 20 years. New technology has been introduced, and knowledge of pediatric chest diseases has expanded considerably. This book presents the state of the art in the diagnosis of pediatric chest disorders, highlighting the role played by advanced technology. Special attention is devoted to the technical aspects of the modern imaging modalities, their indications, and the diagnostic information that they supply. Some chapters focus on the use and role of individual modalities, while others address in detail specific disorders. Without exception, the authors are internationally known experts in the field. This superbly illustrated book, which is unique in covering all the essential aspects of pediatric chest imaging, will serve as an invaluable reference for all specialists who routinely image children as well as for those who need access to information on how best to image them!
