Advances in pediatric neuroradiology: highlights of the recent medical literature.

Abstract

This review is an attempt to bring some of the best articles in the recent pediatric neuroradiology literature to the attention of the AJR readership. Many advanced imaging capabilities are being brought to bear to noninvasively monitor physiologic changes in the abnormal pediatric brain. Furthermore, novel forms of analysis that are evidence-based are being used to better understand how imaging studies are used and the impact they have on clinical decision making. The reader is encouraged to read these articles in their entirety in order to better understand the lines of inquiry contained in them.
