From the book reviews:
“This book describes imaging considerations for the injured child and discusses modalities useful in the evaluation of these injuries. … Radiologists evaluating pediatric trauma and other trauma care practitioners in the emergency room and inpatient setting are an appropriate audience. … This is a worthy introduction to an important topic.” (David J. Dries, Doody’s Book Reviews, February, 2015)()
