The best:
This is still probably the best reference on pediatric neuroimaging available. Especially the initial section on normal and abnormal brain development are absolutely indispensable if you want to be able to interpret these images. Overall one does not note that great a difference from previous editions but it is larger so it does contain more data. It is quite up-to-date also.
Pediatric Neuroimaging:
Excellent review, helpful in our case where there was some disagreement between various medical exterts as to neuroimaging.
Great book!:
This is the best book ever written about pediatric neuroimaging, being an essential tool for the neuroradiologist. This new edition includes new technics like spectroscopy and perfusion MR images in a very didatic way.
I really recomend this book.
