      abstract = {Ultrasound plays an important role in the diagnostic  imaging of infants and children and has indeed become the  workhorse for many conditions. This is attributable both to  the avoidance of ionizing radiation and to the unique  features displayed on ultrasound in children in almost all  body areas. In the future the potential of ultrasound can  be expected to increase further owing to new developments  such as ultrasound contrast material, three- or  four-dimensional ultrasound, and ultrasound elastography.  This book systematically covers the use of ultrasound in  all organ systems and throughout childhood. After  discussion of the basics, including physics, artifacts, and  procedural details, decision making regarding the use of  ultrasound is elucidated by listing next imaging steps  based on recommended imaging algorithms. The indications  and prerequisites for a particular examination are  documented, and practical tips and tricks are highlighted.  The normal, age-dependent ultrasound findings and typical  appearances in different pathologies are presented in  detail and illustrated by numerous high-quality images.  Particular emphasis is placed on those findings that differ  from the adult sonographic appearances. In addition to the  classic pediatric abdominal applications, detailed  consideration is given to neurosonography,  echocardiography, chest ultrasound, musculoskeletal and hip  ultrasound, Doppler sonography, and interventional  ultrasound. The potential role of the most modern  techniques in various situations is explained. Pediatric  Ultrasound will prove an invaluable source of information  and an indispensable aid to decision making and diagnosis  for radiology residents, experienced (pediatric)  radiologists, sonographers, pediatricians, pediatric  surgeons and urologists, and all other physicians who deal  with children as a part of their daily practice.},
