This book is intended to provide a comprehensive review of current knowledge in the field
of pediatric ultrasound and to serve as a reference for practicing physicians, residents and fellows,
medical students, sonographers, and all others with an interest in the wide applicability
of this important imaging tool in infants and children. An introductory chapter on the physics
of ultrasound imaging techniques and artifacts is followed by chapters devoted to ultrasound
of the brain, spine, and neck; chest, abdomen, and pelvis; musculoskeletal and vascular systems;
and breast. The recent approval of ultrasound contrast agents for imaging of focal liver
lesions and for voiding cystography in the United States has opened the door to the development
and implementation of new applications of contrast-enhanced ultrasound of which many
examples are featured throughout the book. Applications of elastography to pediatric liver
diseases are also described. The rapid development and increased use of ultrasound in the
diagnosis and management in children with musculoskeletal and vascular disorders has
prompted the inclusion of chapters entirely devoted to these topics. Both American and international
authors have been selected for their expertise and to reflect the global perspective and
intended audience for this book.
