Imaging Of The Cervical Spine In Children: Normal, Congenital, And Traumatic Findings

This book will provide the reader with a comprehensive study of the cervical spine in children and young adults. Written by Dr. Leonard Swischuk, a distinguished leader in the field of pediatric radiology, the book will present normal anatomy and embryology, especially as it is relevant to trauma, normal variations and congenital anomalies. The second part of the book deals with trauma, focusing on a systematic accounting of the various injuries encountered and each explained in terms of the mechanism of the injury. Emphasis is placed on plain films, as this is the most important study for the cervical spine. CT and MRI are used to amplify findings. An indispensable resource for anyone dealing with the cervical spine.
