This practical book is ideal for readers who want to rapidly determine the appropriate imaging for pediatric patients. The text provides a concise and accessible summary of the literature on how and when to use imaging studies. Chapters address the essentials, such as cost-effectiveness, and are written in collaboration by renowned specialists in the fields of pediatrics and pediatric radiology. Topics cover common clinical scenarios in neuroimaging and musculoskeletal, chest, and abdominal imaging. Each imaging recommendation is presented along with the supporting data and the strength of the evidence.
