N2  - Presents straightforward, precise and highly detailed advice concerning the correct and safe use of diagnostic imaging techniques in paediatric patients, including neonates. Both conventional imaging techniques and a range of new procedures are considered in detail. The objective is to make readers conscious of the many clinical and technical questions surrounding specific techniques and specific indications and then to answer these questions as clearly and authoritatively as possible. Recommended dos and donts, which represent the consensus reached by 17 international experts, are backed by reference to well over 500 published reports
