Book description

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.

Awards

Highly Commended at the BMA Book Awards 2009

Reviews

'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.'

'A compendium of methods of investigation of the newborn's brain. … Highly recommended to neonatologists, pediatric neurologists and radiologists.'

'[This book] will be especially useful for neonatologists and neonatal fellows, pediatric neurologists and neuroradiologists since the clinical-pathologic-radiologic correlations are so well done … The imaging quality is superb and the figures are of the highest caliber. The diagnostic review of various problems often includes helpful tables and algorithms for the author's academic approach to these issues … a wonderful book … reflecting the academic experience of senior neonatalogists … This book fills a very important void in the field of neonatology and does so with a superb presentation.'

'The design of the book is outstanding with a nice big format. There are many beautiful colour illustrations. Even the boring electroencephalogram (EEG) and CFM tracks are coloured and attractive to look at. … An excellent glossary and list of abbreviations in the beginning of the book are most useful. … the three editors have produced an excellent book.'
