Overview

This book presents a comprehensive, state-of the-art guide and review of ultrasound applications for children and infants with surgical problems. It is meant as a single source to provide information about sonographic application, interpretation and technique for a diversity of pediatric surgical care providers, making it a useful tool for the ultrasound novice as well as the more advanced ultrasonographer. Sections address initial obstacles faced by a physician starting with ultrasound such as the scanning techniques, underlying anatomy and normal sonographic findings. The initial chapter provides an introduction and basic overview about ultrasound theory and techniques. Subsequent chapters focus on specific body parts and systems and their disease processes as it pertains to pediatric and neonatal patients. The text also includes a chapter on abdominal trauma and its evaluation with the FAST (focused abdominal sonography for trauma) exam.  Diagnostic and Interventional Ultrasound in Pediatric Surgery serves as a useful resource for a broad spectrum of pediatric care providers, including a growing number of ultrasound users, surgeons and pediatricians alike.

Reviews

“Editors have produced a book that discusses all things relevant and important to pediatric ultrasound use currently, either in the radiology suite or the operative suite. … The book is lucid, heavily illustrated, clearly and completely marked for clear interpretation so it can be read and understood by students, fellows, residents, and practicing pediatric care givers. It is an excellent primer on what one should expect as ultrasonic support for the care of children.” (Robert M. Arensman, Doody’s Book Reviews, April, 2016)
