It includes over 600 magnetic resonance, computed tomography, ultrasound, and radiographic images organized by anatomic region. Edited by Leonard Swischuk, a world-renowned expert in pediatric radiology and trauma imaging, Emergency Musculoskeletal Imaging in Children is a valuable resource for diagnostic radiologists, emergency physicians, residents, and fellows.

Rezensionen

From the book reviews:

"Emergency Musculoskeletal Imaging in Children ... is a concise text geared toward radiologists interested in improving their interpretation of pediatric fractures. ... this book is a useful catalog of practical tips and experience-based knowledge from one of the stalwarts of pediatric radiology. ... For the radiologist who only occasionally deals with childhood trauma, or who may struggle with confounding pediatric fractures, having this handy book in the reading room would be beneficial." (Stephen F. Simoneaux, Radiology, Vol. 273 (3), December, 2014)
