Highlights
In an interestingly titled 310-page book, Neonatal Cerebral Investigation, Drs Rennie, Hagmann, and Robertson have edited a multiauthored text (9 contributors, none of whom are radiologists), which covers 3 major areas: 1) The physical principles of sonography (US), the principles of electroencephalography (EEG), and the basic principles of MR imaging and MR spectroscopy
2) The normal appearance of the brain on MR imaging, US, and EEG and 7 different clinical conditions that are addressed with imaging and EEG along with the clinical presentations
3) The 7 conditions concern the infant with the following: 1) suspected seizures, 2) depression at birth, 3) a preterm screening (MR imaging, US, and EEG), 4) maternal and neonatal conditions that could result in brain abnormalities, 5) a large head, 6) congenital malformations, and 7) a suspected infection
