The revised, updated Second Edition of this definitive text/reference incorporates the latest advances both in ultrasound technology and in the clinical use of ultrasound to evaluate diseases of infants, children, and adolescents. Written by experts from the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, this volume is the most comprehensive, up-to-date and practical reference on pediatric sonography. Coverage encompasses all cranial and extracranial organs, and also includes chapters on ultrasound principles and instrumentation, artifacts, and ultrasound-guided interventional procedures. The Second Edition provides important new information on gray-scale, duplex Doppler, and colour Doppler sonography and on variations in the presentation of many diseases. The number of illustrations has been increased to more than 1,250 - including 78 in full colour - and most of the First Edition's illustrations have been replaced by new ones, such as updated gray-scale and colour Doppler images.
