Book Description
This book, now in its second edition, remains one of very few works devoted to pediatric musculoskeletal imaging since the advent of cross-sectional methods, and the only one – to the best of our knowledge – specifically dedicated to the skeletally immature joint and its diseases. There has been a steady decline in the number of pediatric radiologists, and less emphasis has been given to pediatric training for general radiologists, so that the latter are more and more unfamiliar with normal and abnormal imaging findings in children and adolescents. This can lead to the misinterpretation of normal findings and failure to recognize abnormal exam results.
Even though this book is intended primarily for radiologists, it will also greatly benefit general rheumatologists, pediatric rheumatologists, pediatricians, orthopedic surgeons and all those involved in the diagnosis and treatment of children and adolescents with articular complaints. It employs simple and accessible language,so that it provides the in-depth information required by radiologists, while still being understandable for non-radiologists. Although its structure is fluent and logical, the chapters are all self-contained. Richly illustrated, its imagery combines the pictorial strength of old radiographs, which display late-stage abnormalities rarely seen today, and the appeal of modern imaging and its ability to detect early signs and subtle findings. Key points are summarized at the end of each chapter.
By presenting essential information on imaging of the immature joint, the authors hope to provide a useful tool to help radiologists (musculoskeletal specialists and generalists alike) face the daily challenges of interpreting pediatric exams. Soon, artificial intelligence (AI) will be able to perform the most basic radiological diagnoses. Nevertheless, pediatric musculoskeletal radiology is complex and full of facets, and mastering this area in this ever-changing time can be a very importantdifferential in the career of the 21st century radiologist.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Guide to joint imaging in minors makes subject matter accessible to a wider audience” – RAD Magazine UK
Book reviewed by Claire Gill, consultant radiographer, University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust.
The second edition of Joint Imaging in Childhood and Adolescence, written by Viana et al, provides a comprehensive and concise overview of a complex and specialised area of imaging. The book provides an easy to read reference guide and makes its subject matter accessible to the wider audience.Remaining unique in its content, this edition expands on its predecessor. It explores the intricacies of normal anatomy and variants during skeletal development and maturation, and discusses appropriate clinical applications of imaging and the limitations of each modality. The authors recognise the vast extent of the topic, choosing to focus on providing a concise and easy to understand overview of the most common, clinically relevant and high impact conditions, pathologies and injuries, both accidental and non-accidental. Exploring those conditions that may be easily missed, confused, or offered as differential diagnoses by those less familiar with the immature skeleton makes it useful and accessible to radiologists and non-radiologists alike. The book uses up-to-date references and explains relevant and modern imaging techniques in context. Each chapter focuses on a specific group of conditions and pathologies, applying the relevant clinical imaging and providing extensive high quality figures and examples at varying stages of disease and patient age. Every chapter concludes with a summary of key points and provides a list of up-to date further reading for those who wish to explore further. All figures are again listed in a section at the beginning of the book with an easy to understand explanation providing a quick reference guide to the examples given. (…) this is a unique, comprehensive and reasonably priced easy reference guide to imaging of immature and developing joints that is accessible to all.
