Main description:

This book offers a unique collection of whole body magnetic resonance images in pediatric patients. It will aid radiologists wishing to further expand or consolidate their knowledge on pediatric body imaging and will help them answer important clinical questions raised in imaging of pediatric tumors. Multiple imaging examples allow the reader to become familiar with the typical and atypical presentation of different diseases.
