Abstract

This new monograph describes and explains the radiographic findings in the healthy and the abnormal alimentary tracts of infants and children. The author's emphasis on the important normal variants should be helpful, especially to medical students and radiologists in training. The first chapter deals with the indications for radiologic examinations, which should alert the examiner to the most probable lesions present and also suggest to him the optimal type of examination. The second chapter details the techniques of examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach, jejunum and ileum); this short chapter is one of the most valuable in the book because it will not only facilitate examinations, but also prevent undue radiation exposure of both the patient and the examiner, if the author's methods are followed.
