Kleinman's Diagnostic Imaging of Child Abuse

This fourth edition of what is now Kleinman's Diagnostic Imaging of Child Abuse remains the premier source of comprehensive information on all aspects of medical imaging related to child abuse and its differential diagnosis. Chapters cover all aspects of imaging of the abused child – musculoskeletal, spine, visceral and abusive head trauma. Thoroughly updated and revised, there are new chapters on imaging of abusive orbital and facial trauma, post-mortem imaging and on the differential diagnosis of abusive head and spine trauma. A section of the book addresses differential diagnoses for child abuse in the musculoskeletal system. The text is richly illustrated with over 1500 high-quality imaging examples by radiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear scintigraphy and ultrasound, supplemented with select correlative pathology images. With contributions from experts of multiple disciplines, this book is the sought-after source for reputable information on diagnostic imaging of the suspected victim of child abuse.
