Ideal for exam preparation and everyday clinical practice, Fetal, Neonatal and Pediatric Neuroradiology brings you fully up to date with recent advances in knowledge and image quality in this fast-changing field. World-renowned pediatric neuroradiologist Dr. Thierry A. G. M. Huisman, along with expert coauthors Drs. Stephen Kralik, Nilesh Desai, and Avner Meoded, utilizes an easy-to-read, quick-reference format of bulleted lists and high-quality images to enhance your understanding and help you quickly grasp and retain critical information.
  • Balances state-of-the-art images and clinical features pertinent to the diagnosis in a bulleted format for quick reference and identification. 

  • Includes more than 400 diagnoses encountered in pediatric, neonatal, and fetal neuroimaging, including brain, head, neck, spine, and metabolic disorders. 

  • Features thousands of high-quality MRI, CT, ultrasound, and radiographic images. 

  • An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.

Dr. Stephen Kralik is an Associate Professor of Radiology at Baylor College of Medicine. He is a Pediatric Neuroradiologist at the Texas Childrens Hospital in Houston, Texas. He is interested in all clinical areas of pediatric neuroradiology, but particularly in implementation of new imaging techniques to improve diagnoses of neurological disorders including functional MRI, MR perfusion and MR Spectroscopy. His research interests in pediatric neuroradiology include diagnosis of pediatric brain and spine tumors with advanced imaging techniques such as perfusion and diffusion imaging, and understanding the effects of medical therapy on the brain in these patients. He is also interested in research using advanced imaging techniques in neonates and premature infants to improve our understanding of the brain injuries in these patients.
Dr. Nilesh Desai is the Division Chief of Neuroradiology at Texas Children's Hospital and Associate Professor of Radiology at Baylor College of Medicine. He is board-certified by the American Board of Radiology with subspecialty certification in Neuroradiology. He completed fellowships in both Neuroradiology and Pediatric Neuroradiology with Fetal MRI. He performs all aspects of neuroradiology and fetal imaging. His research interests include brain injury in congenital heart disease, non-accidental trauma and sickle cell disease. Honors include being a recipient of the Outstanding Clinician Award from Emory University School of Medicine Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences prior to joining Texas Children's Hospital.
Dr. Avner Meoded is an Associate Professor of Radiology at Baylor College of Medicine. He is also a Neuroradiologist at the Texas Childrens Hospital, Houston, Texas. His field of research includes pediatric neuroimaging. His clinical and research activity is focused on the application of advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to study multiple pediatric neurologic disorders. Some of his projects eva
