Comparison of Rapid Cranial MRI to CT for Ventricular Shunt Malfunction

Abstract: WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Rapid cranial MRI is a radiation-free method to assess children with possible ventricular shunt malfunction. However, the test performance of rapid cranial MRI has never been compared with that of cranial CT, the current reference standard. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:The accuracy of rapid cranial MRI was not inferior to that of CT for diagnosing ventricular shunt malfunction. Rapid cranial MRI is an important radiation-sparing diagnostic alternative for children presenting emergently wi… Show more

“…Six studies compared ultra-fast MRI techniques to conventional MRI techniques [13][14][15][16][17][18]; eight reviewed the clinical use of ultra-fast techniques [6][7][8][19][20][21][22][23]; one compared two ultrafast techniques [24]; one compared ultra-fast and standard MRI to CT [25]; and one compared ultra-fast MRI to CT [26]. Six studies compared techniques using oversampling of k-space to conventional MRI [9,[27][28][29][30][31]; and one compared an ultra-fast technique to a technique using oversampling of kspace [32].…”
