Abstract
<b>OBJECTIVE.</b> The purposes of this article are to describe implementation of an abbreviated brain MRI protocol for use in children with primary headache and to present an experience with the adaptation of the protocol in practice, work flow integration, and effects on sedation use. <b>CONCLUSION.</b> The abbreviated brain MRI protocol reduced the need for sedation for 74% of the study sample. Use of this protocol in this particular patient population continues, but further validation is required before its use is expanded to other pediatric populations.
