- Comparing CT-Like Bone Images Based on Fast Field Echo Resembling a CT Using Restricted Echo Spacing (FRACTURE) MR with CT in Pediatric Congenital Vertebral Anomalies
FRACTURE MR is reliable for bone imaging in pediatric complex spinal anomalies and can be complementary to conventional MR in providing osseous details, reducing the need for additional study, and avoiding radiation. The bone signal and cortical trabecular differentiation are excellent in older children (>3 years old).
- Single Large-Scale Mitochondrial Deletion Syndromes: Neuroimaging Phenotypes and Longitudinal Progression in Pediatric Patients
This retrospective observational study is a longitudinal analysis of the neuroimaging pattern of single large-scale mitochondrial deletion syndrome, which is often classified into 3 major clinical syndromes: Kearns-Sayre syndrome, chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia, and Pearson syndrome. Early findings typically involve the brainstem and basal ganglia with the supratentorial subcortical white matter changes and spinal cord involvement as the disease progresses.
