This new book - with nearly 200 case studies and 700 radiographs - provides complete information on a full range of pediatric disorders. The book's wide variety of cases, ranging from the simple to the complex, make it ideal as both a study guide for residents and as a reference in everyday practice.

Pediatric Radiology Casebase is divided into nine anatomically based sections, each covering the pathology and radiographic evaluation of common childhood diseases. Throughout, the "self-study" format allows you to make your own diagnosis and compare it to the author's explanation.

Written by specialists at the Arkansas Children's Hospital, Pediatric Radiology Casebase is a must for both residents and practicing radiologists.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for Board review, March 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Pediatric Radiology Casebase (Paperback)

This book was very helpful for board review and preparation. I believe it does live up to its name as a baby book of "Aunt Minnie's". The diagnoses are classic and discussions succinct. The bibliography is also excellent.

One could use this book as a primary learning tool while learning pediatric radiology,but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone but a radiologist or a radiology resident. It wouldn't be very helpful for a pediatrician, because the way it is set-up is radiology "boards" style.

This review is from: Pediatric Radiology Casebase (Paperback)

This is an excellent case-based approach to reviewing pediatric radiology. Organized by the major subspecialties, each section has numerous cases to solidify your knowledge base. The usefulness, in my time, was taking the cases as unknowns by looking at the history and reviewing the images. A diagnosis and discussion is covered on the following page which is great for self assessment.

Inserts including Pearls and Pitfalls emphasizes key points for each subject. The images are decent and diagnostic quality but have been surpassed by current technology.

This is a solid book, even if the images need an update.

It is an excellent book for rotations in Pediatric Radiology for both Radiology Residents/Fellows and Pediatric Residents/Fellows, alike.

I highly recommend this text.

Classic cases for orals studying but it was written a long time ago and the image quality is poor by today's standards. I really enjoyed it and wish they would do another edition.
