The purpose of this book is to provide residents, fellows, and general practitioners a comprehensive yet concise review of pediatric radiology. It describes all of the primary pathologies that afflict the pediatric population, supplemented with an abundance of detailed imaging. The content is subdivided within organ systems, which is consistent with both prior pediatric radiology texts and the resident curriculum set forth by the Society for Pediatric Radiology. Learning objectives are clearly presented at the outset of each chapter. References are listed at the end of each chapter for further in-depth reading. The final chapter consists of self-assessment questions, which are consistent with the new certification examination. The format will be similar to Chest Radiology: The Essentials and Clinical Breast Imaging: The Essentials currently in print.
