Paediatric Radiology for MRCPCH and FRCR - 9781853157028

Building on the great success of the first edition, Paediatric Radiology for MRCPCH and FRCR retains the popular pre-existing structure of the book, but presents an improved variety of clinical cases as well as updated text in-keeping with advances in medical practice and technology. As before, the book consists of 100 clinical cases, preceded by a section on image interpretation. Each case is presented in exam format, with the answers overleaf, supplemented in every case by salient radiological and clinical summaries of each condition - the "hot lists".Chapters on non-accidental injury and radiation protection have been included as these are highly relevant to paediatric radiology practice. Many of the cases have been replaced with alternatives that are more relevant to the paediatrician or radiologist in-training. There is more emphasis on cross-sectional imaging, as candidates are increasingly encountering these sophisticated imaging tests in postgraduate exams. In particular, the authors have increased the number of cases using Magnetic Resonance Imaging. A large number of the images have been updated with better quality ones, and all the clinical information has been reviewed and updated accordingly.Further improvements for this second edition include the addition of at least one reference per case, improved indexation, and a greater number of annotated diagrams to improve understanding of the more complex images. Paediatric Radiology for MRCPCH and FRCR continues to be a popular exam-oriented text for radiologists and paediatricians alike.
