Recently, an overseas colleague had reached out to us, having trouble implementing the
sequences suggested by Buch et al1 for their patients in pediatric oncology. We believe that …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Identification of spinal drop metastases is important in the
staging and management of pediatric patients with primary brain tumors. Our aim was to …

Postcontrast 3-dimensional fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (3D-FLAIR) sequences have
