Radioisotope bone scans of the paediatric skeleton have been undertaken in the Departments of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine on a daily basis. Indications for bone scintigraphy include infection, trauma, primary benign bone tumours, as well as malignancy. Other conditions such as avascular necrosis and certain dysplasias also warrant a bone scan. When faced with a child who is symptomatic, but in whom the diagnosis is uncertain, eg. the child with a limp of backache, will require a bone scan to exclude the skeleton as the source of the symptoms. For Departments where paediatric bone scans are carried out infrequently this Atlas will provide a crucial reference for the Radiologist, Nuclear Medicine Physician and Orthopaedic Surgeon, to be able to compare any particular paediatric bone scan with the variations of normality as displayed in the Atlas. Important advice is given to ensure high quality bone scan images which will allow better differentiation between normality and abnormality. This Atlas should be on

This book offers an introduction to the history ofuniversity-trained physicians from the middle ages to theeighteenth-century Enlightenment. These were the elite, inreputation and rewards, and they were successful. Yet we can formlittle idea of their clinical effectiveness, and to modern eyestheir theory and practice often seems bizarre. But the historicalevidence is that they were judged on other criteria, and theargument of this book is that these physicians helped to constructthe expectations of society - and met them accordingly. The mainfocus is on the European Latin tradition of medicine, reconstructedfrom ancient sources and relying heavily on natural philosophy forits explanatory power. This philosophy collapsed in the 'scientificrevolution', and left the learned and rational doctor in crisis.The book concludes with an examination of how this crisis was met -or avoided - in different parts of Europe during theEnlightenment.
