Imaging of the Cervical Spine in Children

Dr. Leonard Swischuk is a distinguished pediatric radiologist who draws upon his extensive experience in the field to provide practitioners with an insightful guide to treating pediatric cervical spine injuries. The text covers developmental anatomy and normal variants, congenital anomalies, abnormalities of the dens, trauma, and miscellaneous abnormalities of the cervical spine. To help residents and radiologists identify cases that they are likely to encounter during board exams and in practice, plain film examples illustrate the conditions discussed. Accompanying CT and MR images clarify and qualify the plain film findings.
