Description
Summary:The increased use of ultrasound in recent years has reduced, but not replaced, the need for angiography in children with liver and biliary tract disease. Few teams have the experience to do this complex, difficult procedure, yet the development of hepatic transplantation in children has increased the number of invasive radiological procedures which are required. This book is the distillate of twenty-five years experience by the most active radiology group in liver disease in children, the Hôpital de Bicêtre in France. Presented mainly as an annotated atlas, this book covers all aspects: anatomy, malformations, angiomas, tumors, infections, etc, together with a fully illustrated chapter on liver transplantation. Liver Disease in Children provides an essential reference for those who must perform these intricate procedures and integrate the finding with the results of Doppler sonography and computed tomography.
