The chapter on normal development of the neonatal and infant brain, skull, and spine has been expanded to include fetal brain MRI. This edition also includes new concepts on hypoxic-ischemic brain injury and malformations of cerebral cortical development.To facilitate fast, easy reference, this edition includes a "List of Disorders," which lists the conditions discussed in each chapter and their corresponding page numbers.

This review is from: Pediatric Neuroimaging (Pediatric Neuroimaging (Barkovich)) (Hardcover)

This is still probably the best reference on pediatric neuroimaging available. Especially the initial section on normal and abnormal brain development are absolutely indispensable if you want to be able to interpret these images. Overall one does not note that great a difference from previous editions but it is larger so it does contain more data. It is quite up-to-date also.
