This textbook provides a comprehensive review of gynecological imaging
in infancy, childhood, and adolescence. Experts from the disciplines of
pediatric radiology, gynecology, surgery, and endocrinology have come
together to produce a textbook that, while written primarily from the
perspective of the radiologist, will be of value to all professionals
involved in the management of these patients. The normal development of
the female reproductive tract is described in detail through
embryological development, normal childhood appearances, and puberty.
Congenital abnormalities are addressed in chapters reviewing structural
abnormalities of the reproductive tract and disorders of sex
development. A symptoms-based approach is followed in chapters devoted
to the assessment of the patient with gynecological pain and disorders
of menstruation. Disorders of the breast and the imaging of patients
with gynecological neoplasia are considered in dedicated chapters.
