About this book

This atlas is a concise visual guide to the imaging of acquired heart disease in infants, children, and adolescents. Imaging plays an ever-increasing vital role in diagnosis, preoperative planning, and postoperative management for children with these disorders. The book reviews techniques for lowering radiation, discusses protocols for imaging in children, and provides recommendations for the most appropriate studies that decrease the time and cost of imaging these patients. Focusing on functional and anatomic imaging with an emphasis on three-dimensional color-coded models derived from CT and MR scans, this book promotes understanding of cardiovascular disorders in children, including infectious, neoplastic, and metabolic diseases. Atlas of Acquired Cardiovascular Disease Imaging in Children is a valuable resource through which cardiologists, radiologists, pediatric cardiothoracic surgeons, and residents can improve the quality and treatment of pediatric and adolescent patients with acquired heart disease.         

Reviews

“The book begins with a brief introduction to the imaging modalities covered (mostly MRI and CT). … this book provides a good starting point for further reading into a niche topic … .” (Dr. Tom Semple, RAD Magazine, May, 2017)


“The purpose is to provide a summary of the role of each imaging modality in a good number of commonly acquired cardiovascular diseases in children. … The primary audience is trainee physicians in pediatrics, radiology, and cardiology. … a good review for candidates preparing for certification and board examinations. … focuses on the anatomic and functional aspects of imaging in children, using 3D color-coded models to enhance understanding of cardiovascular disease due to infectious, metabolic, and neoplastic diseases.” (Ravi Prasad Avati Nanjundappa, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2017)
