Tröger Jochen, Seidensticker Peter R. (eds.) Paediatric Imaging Manual

Springer, 2008. — 167 p. — (Notes in Radiology) — ISBN: 978-3540349648Children and adolescents are not simply small adults; they suffer from different diseases and require different treatments. The same is true where imaging is concerned. The diagnostic strategies – using identical diagnostic instruments – are different; the care prior to, during, and following the examination differs from that of adults.Because the number of Centers for Pediatric Radiology is small, students as well as pediatricians and general radiologists lack training in pediatric radiology and are often not sufficiently aware of these differences. This CME accredited Manual provides a comprehensive overview on the field of pediatric radiology and suggests imaging strategies for the most common clinical indications in children and adolescents.Radiation bio effects and dose reduction strategies
