This Atlas covers the entire spectrum of brain disease as studied
with ultrasound, illustrated throughout with superb-quality images.
It is aimed at neonatologists and radiologists confronted with
everyday clinical questions on the neonatal ward. Most newborn
brain disorders can be identified with ultrasound; this book will
therefore be particularly useful in settings with limited MRI
facilities. Prenatal ultrasound specialists will also find it
valuable as a postnatal reference in their field of interest.
Suggestions for differential diagnosis accompany all the
sonographic findings, guiding the clinician in proceeding from an
abnormal image to a diagnosis. This second edition of the Atlas has
been brought up to date to include the many advances in technique
and interpretation that have been made in the past decade. The
images have been replaced with new ones of higher quality, and all
the line artwork has been standardised and improved.
Readership
Neonatologists, radiologists, neuroradiologists with an
interest in neonatal ultrasound
From reviews of the first edition:
"This is the most challenging and comprehensive book on this
theme, and is an essential reference for clinicians to make a
correct diagnosis."
—Satoshi Takada, Brain and Development
"This can be little doubt that this title represents the
definitive work on neonatal cranial ultrasound. The authors have
had extensive experience in the use of ultrasound scanning the
neonatal brain for almost as long as ultrasound has been used to
investigate intracranial pathology on the neonatal unit. Their
combined experience is most impressive."
—Malcolm Leven, Archives of Disease in
Childhood
