Abstract: "In the past few decades, substantial technological advancements have established imaging as an integral component and invaluable tool for the noninvasive evaluation of a variety of thoracic disorders in infants and children. With the rapidly evolving technology, updated knowledge of imaging techniques and findings that are unique to the pediatric population is increasingly essential for providing optimal patient care. To this end, this book aims to provide a current and comprehensive imaging review of pediatric thoracic disorders that are encountered in daily clinical practice"--Provided by publisher.
