Abstract

This monograph will present an overview of pediatric emergency room chest radiology. Technique, interpretative approach, normal radiologic appearances, common normal variants, and unique features of the pediatric lung are discussed. The radiologic features of common pediatric chest emergencies (infection, airway foreign body, asthma, hydrocarbon aspiration, near-drowning pneumothorax, trauma, hemosiderosis and upper airway obstruction) are described and illustrated.
