Imaging of the pediatric chest continues to evolve rapidly – and this is reflected in the fact that all of the chapters in this second edition of the classic and superbly illustrated reference work have been extensively updated. Readers will find additional disease-specific information and numerous new illustrations. The role of advanced technology in the diagnosis of pediatric chest disorders is highlighted, special attention being paid to the technical aspects of modern imaging modalities, their indications, and the diagnostic information that they supply.

Both editors have been Chairs of large pediatric radiology departments: Dr. Lucaya was Chair at Vall d'Hebron Hospital, Barcelona, Spain, and Dr. Strife was Chair at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, USA. They have both had a life-long interest in pediatric chest imaging, and are great teachers and writers. They have selected internationally acclaimed authors, all of whom have expertise in imaging the pediatric chest. The international approach adds diversity of opinion as well as guaranteeing expertise in selected areas of controversy. All authors are advocates for the reduction of radiation in children.
