Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging in children: state of the art

Abstract: Whole-body imaging in children was classically performed with radiography, positron-emission tomography, either combined or not with computed tomography, the latter with the disadvantage of exposure to ionizing radiation. Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in association with the recently developed metabolic and functional techniques such as diffusion-weighted imaging, has brought the advantage of a comprehensive evaluation of pediatric patients without the risks inherent to ionizing radiation usuall… Show more

“…The latter two are most commonly used to rule out other diseases and to detect asymptomatic sites employing whole body screening techniques. 1,[4][5][6]12 Long and tubular bones are preferentially affected, especially the lower limbs. 1,[4][5][6] In a study by von Kalle et al, the frequencies found for lesions by bone segment were: meta-epiphyseal (31%), metaphyseal (30%), epiphyseal (19%), meta-diaphyseal (10%), diaphyseal (1.8%), apophyseal (1.8%), and epimetadiaphyseal (1.4%).…”
