Produktbeschreibung

This book discusses the key features of normal, age-dependent neonatal head and spine ultrasonography and the application of this modality to common and rare neonatal neurologic disorders. Ultrasonography is an incredibly versatile bedside imaging tool in detecting brain and spine abnormalities in neonates, monitoring the course of these lesions, and evaluating the maturation of the neonatal brain and spine. Organized to correspond to daily bedside practice, it presents a symptom-based approach and classifies neonatal neurologic disorders at presentation. For each disorder, clinical cases are presented that explore the differential diagnoses and are accompanied by high-quality ultrasound images that depict the abnormal findings. Topics include seizures, encephalopathy, hemiparesis, apnea, microcephaly, and neonatal spine abnormalities. Neonatal Head and Spine Ultrasonography is a succinct guide to this imaging modality and is a valuable resource for pediatric radiologists, neuroradiologists, neonatologists, and pediatricians.

Rezensionen

"I feel that this textbook would be a valuable resource for trainee sonographers and radiologists with an interest in paediatric imaging. It would no doubt be of great value to the on-call trainee when faced with a call from the neonatal unit, and would be a useful, although brief, reference text for the department." (Dr. Oliver Hulson, RAD Magazine, January, 2017)

"This book promotes the use of ultrasonography in the evaluation of neonatal head and spinal abnormalities. ... The intended audience includes practicing clinicians in neonatology and radiologists and their trainees. ... It symptom-based approach is helpful to bedside clinicians." (Jay P. Goldsmith, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2016)
