From the reviews of the second edition:
"The second edition of Imaging of the Cervical Spine in Children is a brilliant update to a text that previously had provided an extremely succinct overview of a very challenging subject. ... Each chapter has a plethora of images and diagrams with concise and illuminating descriptions. ... I recommend this text and believe it should be on the shelf of anyone who examines pediatric cervical spine images ... ." (Jamie R. Ledford, Radiology, Vol. 268 (1), July, 2013)
