Pediatric whole-body magnetic resonance imaging: comparison of STIR and T2 Dixon sequences in the detection and grading of high signal bone marrow changes
Abstract:Objectives
To compare short time inversion recovery (STIR) and T2 Dixon in the detection and grading of high signal intensity areas in bone marrow on whole-body MRI in healthy children.
Methods
Prospective study, including whole-body 1.5-T MRIs from 77 healthy children. Two experienced radiologists in consensus identified and graded areas of high bone marrow signal on STIR and T2-weighted (T2W) turbo spin echo (TSE) Dixon images (presence, extension) in tw… Show more
