One-Minute Ultrafast Brain MRI With Full Basic Sequences: Can It Be a Promising Way Forward for Pediatric Neuroimaging?

摘要

OBJECTIVE. The long scan time of brain MRI is a major drawback that limits its clinical use for evaluating pediatric patients who are inherently prone to motion and frequently require sedatives. This study investigated the clinical feasibility of a 1-minute ultrafast brain MRI protocol in pediatric patients by assessing its image quality in comparison with that of routine brain MRI.
