TAILIEUCHUNG - Pediatric Chest Imaging

Children are frightening. Frightening? In nearly all contexts this statement would be indefensible. In medicine, however, children are often frightening. For one thing, clinical evaluation in young children can be more difficult than with adults. In addition, in the acutely ill or injured child, reserve can be limited and appropriate assessment, including imaging evaluation, and subsequent care are critically important in improving outcome. Many care providers are not pediatric specialists by practice, and evaluation and treatment of children is less familiar than with adults | ELSEVIER SAUNDERS RADIOLOGIC CLINICS of North America Radiol Clin N Am 43 2005 xi - xii Preface Pediatric Chest Imaging Donald P. Frush MD Guest Editor Children are frightening. Frightening In nearly all contexts this statement would be indefensible. In medicine however children are often frightening. For one thing clinical evaluation in young children can be more difficult than with adults. In addition in the acutely ill or injured child reserve can be limited and appropriate assessment including imaging evaluation and subsequent care are critically important in improving outcome. Many care providers are not pediatric specialists by practice and evaluation and treatment of children is less familiar than with adults. Moreover the spectrum of disorders that affects the pediatric population can be quite different from disorders more easily recognized in adults. Often there is an extra layer of emotional concern or anxiety because a child is involved. Together these issues reinforce the importance of resources which facilitate the diagnosis and care of the sick or injured child. This is especially relevant to chest disorders because thoracic abnormalities are common in children and is also relevant to radiologists because imaging evaluation of the chest is frequently one of the first or only tools used after the clinical assessment. Presumably you are reading this because you are an imager or interested in imaging evaluation and because you are caring for children in some capacity. Perhaps you are reading this because like many of us who have contributed to this work you understand the importance of being familiar with the imaging evaluation of chest disorders in infants and children. Like many of us you also understand that current information on many topics is difficult to find and when available not a comprehensive resource. This issue of Radiologic Clinics of North America then is compiled to provide a contemporary resource for those interested in imaging .
