Readership
Neonatologists, radiologists, neuroradiologists with an interest in neonatal ultrasound
From reviews of the first edition:
"This is the most challenging and comprehensive book on this theme, and is an essential reference for clinicians to make a correct diagnosis."
- Satoshi Takada, Brain and Development
"This can be little doubt that this title represents the definitive work on neonatal cranial ultrasound. The authors have had extensive experience in the use of ultrasound scanning the neonatal brain for almost as long as ultrasound has been used to investigate intracranial pathology on the neonatal unit. Their combined experience is most impressive."
- Malcolm Leven, Archives of Disease in Childhood
