Beskrivning

Neonatal Cerebral Investigation reviews all aspects of the investigation of the neonatal brain, bringing together diagnostic and prognostic information in a highly illustrated and practical text. An introductory section covers the basic principles of ultrasound, EEG, CFM and MR imaging and spectroscopy. These chapters are followed by a detailed review of normal neonatal imaging appearances and normal EEG, artefactual imaging appearances and imaging of various stages of the immature brain. Subsequent chapters discuss pre-term and term screening and review the imaging appearances in a variety of clinical conditions such as suspected seizure, suspected infection and enlarging head. Highly illustrated with over 400 ultrasound and MRI scans and EEG and CFM traces and providing detailed diagnostic and prognostic information on a wide range of clinical problems, Neonatal Cerebral Investigation provides the reader with a comprehensive overview of all aspects of investigation of the newborn baby with a potential neurological problem.

Recensioner i media

'Neonatal Cerebral Investigation fulfils a key role in educating the neonatologist caring for any infant at high risk of such neurological complications … More than two thirds of the textbook applies a clinically relevant approach based on the fundamentals of the technology and its application in normative development … [It] has set the stage and will serve as a strong introductory text for any neonatologist or neurologist caring for high-risk infants.' The Lancet
