The likelihood of sedation for an MRI exam in a patient under 8 years is high. Disadvantages of sedation usage include direct complications, suspected long-term effects, and higher costs. Sedation reduction techniques include the use of an MRI simulator, accelerated MRI scans, abbreviated protocols, and swaddle and sleep techniques. We evaluated the clinical image quality and cost effectiveness associated with an MRI simulator training program. Read More

Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) with oral contrast has become a necessary imaging modality for diagnosing various abnormalities. A challenge faced in younger patients is cooperation and oral contrast tolerance. General anesthesia (GA) becomes essential for optimal imaging, ensuring patient safety and comfort. This study describes our experience with conducting MREs under GA in high-risk pediatric patients and aims to demonstrate the safety and success of this practice. Read More
