The opening chapter is  devoted to the complex subject of pediatric trials at the national and  international levels and the importance of staging for stratification,  differential treatment, and outcome. A general imaging protocol for children  with brain tumors is presented, and individual chapters then identify key points  for the differential diagnosis and staging of posterior fossa tumors, low- and  high-grade gliomas, germ cell tumors, and craniopharyngiomas. The relevance of  aspects such as tumor site and age to diagnosis is explained, and pitfalls  associated with meningeal dissemination and treatment-related complications  mimicking recurrence are highlighted. The importance of ensuring comparability  of follow-up by use of standard MR (or CT) imaging is emphasized. In drawing on  the lessons gained both from pediatric trials and from the author’s own  experience, this book will be invaluable for all radiologists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-01-18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319425016\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-42503-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 79\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47521115046028,"sku":"9783319425016","price":80.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319425016.jpg?v=1776005984","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319425016","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
