Top 3 Differentials in Pediatric Radiology by Rebecca Stein-Wexler is a comprehensive compilation of common and clinically relevant cases encountered in Pediatric Radiology practice. The book is divided into six sections based on imaging of different body systems. A short clinical history is provided with each radiological image to generate an appropriate clinical perspective, followed by description of the salient imaging findings.

The top three imaging differential diagnoses are well discussed, and along with imaging features that justify the diagnosis, a brief description of the classical clinical features and suggested management is also provided. This is followed by the final diagnosis of the case and the important take away points from the discussion. The description of each case is concise, yet provides all essential and relevant information about the topic under consideration. One caveat is that ‘arrows’ or other appropriate pointers are often missing from the images and legends, which makes it difficult for reader to spot the radiological findings accurately.

Overall, this book is very well-written, informative, and includes all aspects of Pediatric Radiology in terms of the organ systems and radiological modalities (i.e. conventional X-rays, special X-ray investigations, ultrasound, doppler, Computed tomography and Magnetic resonance imaging), simultaneously incorporating cases of varying levels of difficulty. The book will be very beneficial for both Pediatricians and Pediatric Radiologists – residents, teachers as well as practitioners.
