Pediatric imaging requires a specialized approach considering age, size, and development. Dr. Solís explores pediatric MR imaging complexities through a follow-up case of a 12-year-old boy with a low-grade glioma. To reproduce these protocols on your 3.0T Philips MR scanner: Review full clinical case and download ExamCard: https://www.mriclinicalcasemap.philips.com/global/case/293 Review full clinical case and download protocol files: ExamCards & Protocols (Already registered to MyP4P Community?

At-a-glance:
- 00:19] Previous MR brain study on a 1.5T Mobile MR
- [02:08] New MR brain study on 3.0T (MR 7700)
- 02:32] Benefits of 3D T2w sequences with fat suppression (SPAIR), allowing reconstructions in multiple directions.
- [04:06] Benefits of using a sagittal, high resolution, balanced FFE sequence of the brain midline, allowing to see tiny structures.
- [05:58] Post-gadolinium images showing nodule enhancement
- [06:18] Tumor tracking used for lesion follow-up, allowing measurements and segmentation.
This is a really nice sequence with really high resolution, that in this case has changed our diagnosis.
