Paediatric Radiography

Radiography is an integral part of paediatric health care. It is

frequently requested to assist in the diagnosis, management and

treatment of childhood disease and illness. Accurate interpretation

of paediatric radiographs can depend entirely on the quality

of images produced by the radiographer, yet there are few books

available on this crucial aspect of radiographic practice.

Paediatric Radiography fills a gap. It explores

radiographic practice within the context of the modern health

service and focuses on how our knowledge and understanding of

paediatric growth, development and illness can inform and influence

radiographic procedures. It includes detailed coverage of specific

paediatric techniques and good practice models, including the role

of multi-modality imaging, and looks specifically at radiation

protection, the chest and upper airways, the abdomen, neonatal

radiography, trauma, orthopaedics, and non-accidental injury.
