Reviews
'Neonatal Cerebral Investigation fulfils a key role in educating the neonatologist caring for any infant at high risk of such neurological complications ... More than two thirds of the textbook applies a clinically relevant approach based on the fundamentals of the technology and its application in normative development ... [It] has set the stage and will serve as a strong introductory text for any neonatologist or neurologist caring for high-risk infants.' The Lancet
'A compendium of methods of investigation of the newborn's brain. ... Highly recommended to neonatologists, pediatric neurologists and radiologists.' Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews
'[This book] will be especially useful for neonatologists and neonatal fellows, pediatric neurologists and neuroradiologists since the clinical-pathologic-radiologic correlations are so well done ... The imaging quality is superb and the figures are of the highest caliber. The diagnostic review of various problems often includes helpful tables and algorithms for the author's academic approach to these issues ... a wonderful book ... reflecting the academic experience of senior neonatalogists ... This book fills a very important void in the field of neonatology and does so with a superb presentation.' Doody's
'The design of the book is outstanding with a nice big format. There are many beautiful colour illustrations. Even the boring electroencephalogram (EEG) and CFM tracks are coloured and attractive to look at. ... An excellent glossary and list of abbreviations in the beginning of the book are most useful. ... the three editors have produced an excellent book.' Acta Paediatrica
