| Summary |
This book provides a concise overview of neonatal imaging. After a short clinical introduction on the crucial role of imaging in diagnosing and treating neonatal conditions, it discusses the various methods (ultrasound, digital radiography, fluoroscopy, CT, and MRI) available and explains in detail how they have to be adapted for neonatal applications. Chapters feature imaging findings and differential diagnoses for the most common neonatal conditions. Additionally, some relevant aspects of foetal imaging are presented. Written by an interdisciplinary team, Imaging in Neonates is a practical resource for daily use in the ward for all medical professionals involved in treating neonates. |
