Pediatric Cardiac Radiology

This book is a comprehensive, visually rich guide to pediatric cardiology through radiographic imaging, designed for clinicians, radiologists, and pediatric cardiologists. It emphasizes the diagnostic and management value of plain radiographs, supplemented by CT, MRI, echocardiography, and angiography where needed. With nearly 2,000 radiographic films, the text demonstrates congenital and acquired heart conditions, prosthetic devices, and post-operative changes in a highly accessible format.
