Davis, Heidelberg Production Editor: Kurt Teichmann, Mauer Cover-Design and Typesetting: Verlagsservice Teichmann, Mauer Printed on acid-free paper – 21/3180xq – 5 4 3 2 1 0 Foreword This second, completely revised and updated edition provides a comprehensive over- view of modern imaging of the pediatric chest. As in the fi rst highly successful edition, the main emphasis is put on the actual role of cross-sectional imaging methods in conjunction with standard chest radiography. This volume superbly covers our current knowledge and new insights into the indis- pensable role that radiological imaging plays in the appropriate management of infants and children with acute or chronic chest diseases. The editors, Dr. J. Lucaya and Dr. J.L. Strife, have been very successful in engag- ing several international experts in the fi eld, all with outstanding qualifi cations, to contribute to individual chapters and I would like to thank and congratulate them for the expeditious and excellent coordination of the editorial preparation of this second edition. I am confi dent that this outstanding textbook will again stimulate great interest among both general and specialised pediatric radiologists, as well as among neonatolo- gists, pediatricians and pediatric surgeons. It will certainly enjoy the same success with our readers as its fi rst edition. Albert L. Baert Series editor ...
