Radiology to me is an art more than a science; an art of imaging
the human body, and an art of extracting information from an image.
Radiology today is a vital specialty that almost no other medical
specialty can work without. Congenital anomalies and syndromes are
complex subjects in all medical specialties. They require knowledge
of the normal anatomy and of the embryological basis of
organogenesis. The importance of recognizing a congenital
malformation or an anomaly, which can be the tip of an iceberg of a
more complex syndrome, is to prevent future manifestations of a s-
drome if possible or to reduce its severity. Due to this concept, I
had an interest in studying how to use the radiological modalities
in diagnosing congenital malfor- tions as early as possible.
Although radiology offers very powerful tools for diag- sis, the
basics of medicine are still the main tools to be used for
diagnosis. History, observation, clinical examination, and
laboratory investigations are essential elements for diagnosis,
which need to be used before radiology investigations are
initiated. The idea of this book is based on a simple principle: it
is to link radiology to these basic medical tools. The book is
written for junior radiologists, radiology students, and doctors
interested in congenital malformations and syndromes in any
specialty. Each disease is represented with a de? nition,
description, etiology, diagnostic cri- ria, main symptoms, and its
typical diagnostic radiological features on the modern radiological
modalities available today.
