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.
