This study aims to assess the diagnostic feasibility and diagnostic performance of a new fast MR sequence EPIMix for neuroradiological evaluation in comparison to computed tomography of brain in pediatric population.
The study aims to assess the feasibility of fast MR sequence for neuroradiological evaluation in comparison to computed tomography of brain in pediatric population. Imaging quality is analysed with regards to artefacts and lesion conspicuity as well as its diagnostic potential in rendering a probable diagnosis. The primary study aim is to define feasibility and the AUC for diagnostic performance of minute MRI compared to computed tomography.
Included patients are children age 4-18 with suspicion of cerebral pathology with referral to elective computed tomography of the brain.
Study participants are in addition to computed tomography investigated during same day at 3T MR.
