The fourth edition of Diagnostic Imaging: Pediatric Neuroradiology is simultaneously detailed and accessible. The book is divided into three parts: brain; head and neck; and spine. These three parts are further subdivided into the same logical 12 sections as the third edition.
The bullet-pointed succinct format is retained, with most conditions being covered in four, or sometimes two, pages. Key facts are outlined at the beginning of each condition covering imaging, differentials, pathology and clinical issues. This systematic formatting makes the book intuitive and easy to navigate. Those who need quick access to key facts and differentials will be well served by this text. However, readers seeking a greater level of description and prose may wish to reach for Barkovich’s Pediatric Neuroimaging.
The arrangement and content of most, if not all, topics is identical to that in the most recent STATdx articles, which are also published by Elsevier. Those with pre-existing access to STATdx will therefore find a large degree of overlap and may not benefit so much from owning this textbook. However, this book is well organised and could still be useful.
The tumour segments in both brain and spine parts have been updated to reflect the 2021 WHO Classification. The new prose preceding the neuroinflammatory pages helps to delineate the key clinical and radiological features that distinguish each condition.
The radiological images are of a very high standard. Accompanying diagrams are also clear and well drawn. The hardback binding is well made, and the paper is of good quality. The book is very visually appealing. The companion ebook is also easy to navigate, with useful search, highlight and bookmark functions.
This book is on the more expensive side but still represents good value for money as a benchbook or training aid. Encyclopaedic coverage of paediatric neuroradiology is provided in a digestible format. It would be a helpful educational resource for senior radiology trainees specialising in paediatrics or neuroradiology. It will also be of use to radiology consultants including neuroradiologists, paediatric neurologists and paediatric neurosurgeons.
