Case presentation A 6-month-old baby with cough, congestion, and fever for 3 days presents to the emergency department with complaints of respiratory distress. Physical examination is significant for a temperature…
Case presentation A 5-day-old male infant presents with decreased feeding and activity for the past 24 hours. The parents report emesis that initially looked like infant formula but over the…
Most pediatric imaging procedures do not require sedation. There are patients, though, who will require some level of sedation in order to obtain a meaningful imaging study. The reasons for…
Exposure to ionizing radiation Exposure to ionizing radiation is a natural consequence of living on Earth. We are exposed to ionizing radiation from the Earth beneath our feet, from the…
To image or not to image? Quality in health care, as defined by the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, is “doing the right thing for the right patient,…
Knowledge of functional neuroanatomy is essential to design the most appropriate clinical functional MR imaging (fMR imaging) paradigms and to properly interpret fMR imaging study results. The correlation between neuroanatomy…
In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) central nervous system (CNS) classification scheme incorporated molecular parameters in addition to traditional microscopic features for the first time. Molecular markers add a…
Resting state functional MR imaging methods can provide localization of the language system; however, presurgical functional localization of the language system with task-based functional MR imaging is the current standard…
Functional neuroimaging provides means to understand the relationship between brain structure and associated functions. Functional MR (fMR) imaging can offer a unique insight into preoperative planning for central nervous system…
Dynamic functional connectivity adds another dimension to resting-state functional MR imaging analysis. In recent years, dynamic functional connectivity has been increasingly used in resting-state functional MR imaging, and several studies…
