NMR studies of the central nervous system in pediatrics

The central nervous system in 70 infants, children and adolescents has been examined by NMR. Phase I of the continuing investigation dealt with the applicability and scope in this group of patients. A retrospective comparison with CT was used to examine the possibility of enhancing and differentiating various tissues. The results have shown that NMR can extend the diagnostic possibilities beyond those of CT in the paediatric age group.
