Pediatric Neuroimaging 6th South Asia Edition

Pediatric Neuroimaging 6th South Asia Edition

Pediatric Neuroimaging, Sixth South Asia Edition by A. James Barkovich and Charles Raybaud is a comprehensive and authoritative reference covering imaging of the developing brain, spine, skull and head-and-neck structures in infants and children.

Published by Wolters Kluwer under the Lippincott Williams & Wilkins imprint, the book combines detailed textual descriptions with thousands of diagnostic images to help readers recognize, differentiate and understand a wide spectrum of pediatric neurological disorders.

The book emphasizes magnetic-resonance imaging and computed tomography, while also covering ultrasonography and other imaging techniques used in pediatric practice. Chapters are organized by disease group and explain the pathological basis of each condition to strengthen clinical understanding and differential diagnosis.

Clear descriptions of normal brain, skull and spinal development help readers distinguish age-appropriate appearances from disease. The sixth edition contains more than 2,500 high-quality images, drawings, photographs and figures.
