Advances in pediatric oncology MRI
Keyword(s):
Refined stratification of disease is thought to result in better survival from childhood malignant disease while minimizing the adverse effects of anticancer therapies. There is a potential for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to contribute to such stratification by improved tissue characterization, anatomical depiction, staging, and assessment of early treatment response. Recent advances in pediatric MRI outside the central nervous system (CNS) are reviewed in this context. The focus is on new applications for conventional MRI and on clinical implementation of tissue-specific and quantitative techniques. This area is largely unexplored, and potential directions for research are indicated.
