From congenital or acquired problems in newborns to cardiovascular 
abnormalities in older children, this comprehensive text explains how to 
interpret chest radiographs and how to report that information in day-to-day 
practice. It steers readers through this often challenging area using numerous 
practical case examples, more than 400 high-quality radiographs, drawings and 
specimen photographs, straightforward explanations of findings, and the 
collective experience of several of the world’s foremost experts on cardiac 
imaging and pediatric cardiology. After an introductory discussion of normal 
cardiac anatomy and imaging, the authors provide readers with a systematic 
approach to understanding chest images in children with congenital or acquired 
heart disease followed by useful bulleted synopses of basic pathologic features, 
clinical manifestations and radiographic findings.

While the trend in recent 
decades has been toward increasingly sophisticated imaging modalities, this book 
successfully illustrates that there is still an extraordinary amount of 
diagnostic and therapeutic information to be found in chest x-rays.
