infants, may present with nonspecific symptoms and signs, such as vomiting or apnea; the …

In the context of child abuse spectrum, abusive head trauma (AHT) represents the leading
cause of fatal head injuries in children less than 2 years of age. Immature brain is …

BACKGROUND: Computed tomography (CT) is commonly used for children when there is
concern for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and is a significant source of ionizing radiation. Our …

Common neuroimaging findings in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), including sport-related
concussion (SRC), are reviewed based on computed tomography and magnetic resonance …

Timely detection and monitoring of acute brain injury in children is essential to mitigate
causes of injury and prevent secondary insults. Increasing survival in critically ill children …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: MR imaging with sedation is commonly used to detect
intracranial traumatic pathology in the pediatric population. Our purpose was to compare …

Introduction Rapid MRI with ultrafast T2 sequences can be performed without sedation and
is often used in place of computed tomography (CT) to evaluate pediatric patients for …

OBJECTIVE Rapid-sequence MRI (RSMRI) of the brain is a limited-sequence MRI protocol
that eliminates ionizing radiation exposure and reduces imaging time. This systematic …

CT is considered the first-line study for acute intracranial injury in children because of its
availability, detection of acute hemorrhage, and lack of sedation. An MRI study with rapidly …

For decades, CT has been the primary imaging modality for the diagnosis and surveillance
of paediatric craniofacial disorders. However, the deleterious effects of ionising radiation in …
