This exhaustive text covers all aspects of diagnosis and endovascular treatment of neurological and neurosurgical diseases of the pediatric central nervous system starting from their in utero expression. It also includes the vascular malformations of each district and their endovascular treatment. Besides the "normal" imaging techniques the advanced techniques (spectroscopy, diffusion, perfusion, and functional imaging) are covered in detail. Several topics that are often only superficially dealt with in other books are herewith covered in outstanding detail. The volume is richly illustrated with high-quality neuroradiological images, with pathological correlation where applicable. The rich analytic index makes it an easily usable tool in the everyday clinical practice. The book serves both as a reference for specialists (neuroradiologists, radiologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, pediatricians) and as a teaching text for residents and fellows-in-training.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews: Doody's Listings and Reviews - **Features** This well organized book provides complete coverage of the brain, ENT, head and neck, orbits, and spine. The imaging techniques are combined with excellent pathologic specimens, clinical photos, and illustrations. **Assessment** This is one of the best books on the topic of pediatric neuroradiology. Embryology introductions to each topic are unique and relevant. ----------------------------------------------------------- Weighted Numerical Score: 97 - 5 Stars! The images and illustrations are of very high quality and are used generously. These are interesting inclusions not seen in many neuroradiology books. Descriptions of conditions are comprehensive, with a lot of background information. This book deserves a place in every department where paediatric neuroradiology is practised. RAD Magazine, 2005 "The first edition of Pediatric Neuroradiology is a two-volume text divided into three sections … . is well organized, clearly written, and comprehensive. All neuroradiology fellows and neuroradiologists should read this book and have it available as a reference. It will be a great resource to training and practicing pediatric neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neuropathologists." (Sean P. Symons, Radiology, Vol. 241 (3), 2006) "The book is notable by its detailed coverage of relevant embryology, molecular biology and genetics, providing excellent up-to-date references for the non-expert in these fields. … While a wide range of diagnostic modalities are included in this book, there is a particular strong coverage of both MR and sonography, reflecting current paediatric use. … offers an excellent reference book for paediatric neuroimaging and is the result of a great deal of hard work. … I would certainly recommend it find a place on your shelf." (Kirsten Forbes, Neuroradiology, Vol. 50, 2008) "In creating this textbook, Tortori-Donati and Rossi set out with the audacious goal of creating perhaps the most comprehensive and sweeping textbook on the subject of pediatric neuroimaging to date, and it appears as if they have done just that. … an invaluable resource to those whose interest in pediatric neuroimaging extends well beyond surface comprehension. … Pediatric Neuroradiology is a most welcome addition to the existing canon of texts on the subject and one that I expect will withstand the test of time." (American Journal of Neuroradiology, Vol. 28, August, 2007)

Very nice book, poor quality construction,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pediatric Neuroradiology (Hardcover)
This book is an excellent newcomer to the field of Pediatric Neuroimaging and now runs neck and neck with Barkovich's text for the "best of" designation. I have encountered no topical omissions from the material. It seems uniformly excellent. The book also includes Head and Neck imaging, areas that are not included in Barkovich's text.
My only complaint about my purchase is that the book seems poorly bound. The cover is bound in a thin fabric that arrived torn along the edges. I returned the first set and got a second set that was better, but still torn. The staples in the gray cardboard cover box were probably responsible. For the very hefty price of this book, I'd expect sturdier materials or smarter packaging. The hefty price raises another obvious point. For most buyers, Barkovich's book (fourth edition) probably remains a far more cost-effective choice for a comprehensive Pediatric Neuroradiology source. Still, this text represents a new standard in the field.
