Never before in the history of pediatric uroradiology have concepts, expert opinions and recommendations changed as significantly and as quickly as over the last 5--7 years. Even established scientific concepts which we thought would never be debated again, are now back on the discussion table. This even applies to the treatment and imaging management of very common but serious nephrourological disorders such as urinary tract infection and vesicoureteric refl ux, where the benefit of antibiotic prophylaxis and therefore the role of imaging are called in to question. These changes are not only triggered by the latest scientific findings, some of which contradict formerly established scientific concepts, but by the growing awareness of evidence-based medicine and, last but not least, also by new imaging techniques and technologies.
However, many old concepts still remain and many facts established in the last millennium are still true and pertinent today. This leads to some confusion even among experts, who are still searching for consensus-based imaging management recommendations. Therefore, the invitation to compile a second revised and extended edition of the book Pediatric Uroradiology came at the right moment.
In many aspects, the first edition could be used as a reliable basis for the development of the second edition. Thus this new book embraces both the new, taking recent advances in knowledge and technology into account, and the old. It is a complete rewrite where necessary, containing new contents with regard to latest developments such as genetics, and it provides the newest recommendations and discussions on clinical and imaging management of common nephrourologic disorders.
Thanks to the contributions of the distinguished and renowned international experts in the field of diagnostic and interventional pediatric uroradiology and of neighbouring fields such as genetics and pediatric nephrourology, a comprehensive volume containing all the latest advances could again be prepared, fulfilling the demands of a textbook covering all aspects of pediatric uroradiology in its broadest context. This book should satisfy the needs of the practising (pediatric) radiologist, pediatrician, pediatric surgeon and urologist; it should also offer up-to-date information and references to the researcher.
In view of the ongoing, rapid and significant changes, it was the intention of the editor to include a number of somewhat varying and overlapping views of the individual contributors for this second edition. Precisely this approach guarantees the requisite comprehensiveness and allows a degree of diversity refl ecting the continuous reorientation process in pediatric uroradiology.
