While the majority ofpediatricradiology books concentrate on diagnosis, this book highlights howimagingshould be used in optimal care, allowing comparisons between different modalitiesand addressingfollow up, complicationsandthe issue of timing ofimaging.The primary objective of this book istoprovide a summary of appropriateimaginguse in terms of modalityand timing based on the best available evidence. The book therefore acts as a resource for optimized clinical care of childrenand effective decision-making. A secondary objective istocollate theevidence-basedpractices that constitute quality care for children in the setting of value-basedimaging. Radiologists are often in the position of helping clinicians decide whenand howtoimage children with suspected diseases or confirmed diagnoses. However, traditional residency training has done littletofulfill the need for this up-to-date evidence knowledge. Moreover, in spite of furthering subspecialization of the field, the great majority of children'simaging(and care) occur outside of children's hospitals, where cliniciansand radiologist might need this type of general guidance for establishing best-practices.The book is dividedin twoparts, non-diagnostic considerations such asevidence-basedimaging,safety, value,andthe practice of radiology in low resource settingsand a second larger clinical component divided inprenatal, oncology, neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiothoracic,and abdominalimaging. This new edition incorporates changes in practiceandguidelines in the decade since the first edition was writtenwith many new chapters in emergingtopics including prenatal, oncologyand neurologicalimaging.
