Description
The Practical Imaging Series is a set of interactive radiology ebooks available for tablets.
These interactive ebooks have wide appeal because they offer an organized framework to learn radiology by focusing on a practical approach and using extensive illustrative examples, movie clips, and clinical photographs.
The Practical Imaging Series is written to be assessable to trainees in Diagnostic Radiology, yet applicable even to practicing radiologists. Although a baseline understanding of medical imaging is assumed, these ebooks keep jargon to a minimum so as to be useful to ALL clinicians seeking an approachable primer on the topic.
This ebook focuses on:
A brief overview of brain embryology and its relationship to imaging congenital malformations
Common problems in neonatal brain imaging, including problem solving tips
The phakomatoses: What they are, how they present, and their imaging manifestations
Trauma and infection of the central nervous system (CNS)
Imaging pediatric neurodegenerative and CNS inflammatory disorders
Brain tumors, including differentials by age group, location, and imaging features
How to approach the neonatal spine ultrasound and the imaging of children with spinal dysraphism
Congenital abnormalities and tumors of the head and neck in children
Imaging pediatric orbital lesions and sinonasal disease

Wonderful resource.
5By ba3424Wonderful tool for residents and general radiologists looking to brush up on pediatrics. Jammed full of wonderful images and very easy to read. Highly recommended!Holy Crap.
5By Blueberry muffin'This is great. I don't think I need another book for residency related to Peds. Donnelly is out, Baskin is in. This really is the future. No more paper textbooks.This teaching platform sets the standard in pediatric imaging
5By Gary Hedlund, D.O.This is a world class pediatric radiology teaching platform unlike any other that I have encountered in my 23 years of pediatric radiology practice. Engaging interactive text, rich content, and outstanding image quality set a very high bar for future aspiring authors. Practicing general diagnostic and pediatric radiologists and residents in radiology and pediatrics will be rewarded by having this resource on their tabletBrilliant. The Practical Imaging Series is a game-changer!
5By -H. Ric HarnsbergerI wish I had these iBooks when I was a resident! Like others in this series, Pediatric Neuroradiology is practical, easy to read, and visually stunning. The format is ideal for residents and fellows looking for an approachable, prose-based primer for Pediatric Neuroradiology. It covers all important concepts (including head & neck!) but doesn't get bogged down in minutia. The interactive style, quizzes, differential tables, and high resolution images make this series a quantum leap in radiology education. H. Ric Harnsberger, MD, Professor of NeuroradiologyLucid discussion of a difficult topic
5By krmoore42The second installment in Dr Baskin's series does not disappoint. Rather than intending to be an exhaustive compendium (there are already several excellent encyclopedic tomes available), this book rather focuses on the most important neurological diseases in a very accessible format. That does not mean this is a superficial reference - there is copious rich detail that is accentuated by the excellent figures and multimedia. Residents and fellows as well as experienced practicing Neuroradiologists will find much to be learned (or relearned). Highly recommended.High-quality images and/or video clips correspond to every textual concept
5By SLCvamcAccording to the above description, this eBook “offer[s] an organized framework to learn radiology by focusing on a practical approach and using extensive illustrative examples, movie clips, and clinical photographs.” Like its airway counterpart, Practical Imaging Pediatric Neuroradiology delivers that and more. Because of its unusual and cutting-edge format, high-quality images and/or video clips correspond to every textual concept, which is not something I’ve seen before in medical textbooks, primers, databases, or point-of-care reference materials. This eBook is incredibly readable, easy to navigate, and will also be helpful to clinicians and other physicians across multiple practice areas. Its primary audience—radiology residents and other physicians and medical personnel-in-training—will find it invaluable as an educational tool.Fantastic
5By mspsubI love the vivid images and intuitive design. It is great to see a medical professional take the time and care to leverage new technology and pioneer a new approach to medical education.Unparalleled imaging
5By Carl Merrow, MDThe extensive display of high-quality imaging, the "practical approach" writing style, and the interactive features set this text apart from other traditional books.Great for residents
5By Conure680What great book! The images are excellent and the case selection awesome. This is a great resource for residents in training because of the great cases, descriptions and quizzes. I love the one of a kind Ibook format, easy to use and very interactive.
