Pediatric Neuroimaging


Book Description

The thoroughly updated Fourth Edition of this acclaimed reference describes and illustrates the full range of pediatric disorders diagnosable by modern neuroimaging. This edition includes state-of-the-art information on the use of proton spectroscopy, diffusion imaging, and perfusion imaging in diagnosing metabolic disorders, brain tumors, abnormalities of cerebral microstructure, and abnormalities of blood flow. New entities have been added to the chapters on metabolic disorders, brain injuries, congenital malformations of the brain and skull, cerebellar disorders, brain tumors, phakomatoses, hydrocephalus, and infections. More than 2,400 images complement the text. A List of Disorders with corresponding page numbers enables readers to quickly look up a disease.




Pediatric Neuroimaging


Book Description

The thoroughly updated Fifth Edition of Pediatric Neuroimaging is a highly illustrated text-reference that describes and illustrates the full range of pediatric disorders diagnosable by modern neuroimaging. Covering the diagnosis of brain, spinal, and head and neck disorders in the pediatric patient, the text is rooted in the principle that the proper interpretation of studies requires the acquisition of high-quality images and an understanding of the basic concepts of neuroembryology, normal development, and pathophysiology. Much coverage is given to the disorders seen in everyday practice. The emphasis is on CT and MRI, which are the optimal imaging modalities in children. The first two chapters describe useful imaging techniques in this patient population and the imaging manifestations of normal development, to distinguish that from manifestations of disease. The final ten chapters of the book are divided by groups of diseases, with numerous drawings and images that illuminate the underlying pathologic and embryologic/genetic bases of each disorder. The goal is provide a basic approach to groups of diseases, then offer detailed information about the clinical manifestations, underlying biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics and/or pathology of specific disorders. The book incorporates the essential concepts for obtaining good images and understanding normal development, which helps the reader to distinguish normal developmental changes from disease







Pediatric Neuroimaging


Book Description

This book aims to provide readers practical information on clinical diagnosis of pediatric neurological diseases. Topic areas include congenital malformations of the brain and cerebral vessels, brain tumors, intracranial infections, vascular diseases, metabolic encephalopathy, brain damage and destructive diseases. Utilizing a case-based format, the procedure of streamline disease recognition is presented in a clear and concise manner. Each case is supported by representative images, a discussion of the disease, and a description of the most characteristic imaging features of the disorder. Written by radiologists who have been involved pediatric imaging diagnosis for a long time, this case-based book will be a valuable reference for radiologists, paediatricians and neurologists, as well as those who are interested in related field.




Handbook of Pediatric Brain Imaging


Book Description

Handbook of Pediatric Brain Imaging: Methods and Applications presents state-of-the-art research on pediatric brain image acquisition and analysis from a broad range of imaging modalities, including MRI, EEG and MEG. With rapidly developing methods and applications of MRI, this book strongly emphasizes pediatric brain MRI, elaborating on the sub-categories of structure MRI, diffusion MRI, functional MRI, perfusion MRI and other MRI methods. It integrates a pediatric brain imaging perspective into imaging acquisition and analysis methods, covering head motion, small brain sizes, small cerebral blood flow of neonates, dynamic cortical gyrification, white matter tract growth, and much more. Presents state-of-the-art pediatric brain imaging methods and applications Shows how to optimize the pediatric neuroimaging acquisition and analysis protocols Illustrates how to obtain quantitative structural, functional and physiological measurements
