Summary

Paediatric Ultasound provides trainee and practising radiographers and radiologists, and indeed all healthcare personnel involved in taking and interpreting paediatric ultrasound scans, with a practical and detailed grounding in the techniques and diagnostic applications of ultrasound imaging in children. Written by an experienced team of radiologists and sonographers, it focuses on the principles of best practice, the key topics and the common problems encountered as the technologist and clinician acquire the fundamental skills of equipment selection and image optimisation. Up-to-date, and illustrated profusely throughout, in colour where necessary, this book will serve the sonographer and clinician alike as a clear, concise and authoritative reference to the practice of paediatric ultrasound.
