“…Our results show that an accelerated wave SWI pulse sequence can decrease estimated scan time by 67-78% compared to standard SWI (3.5-min estimated scan time reduction on a 32-channel coil, 3-min estimated scan time reduction on a 20-channel coil). This compares similarly with previous studies applying highly accelerated SWI sequence in adult brain MR imaging [16,17].…”

“…Additionally, the longer the scan time, the greater the medication dose children receive during sedated exams [13]. Examples of fast MRI techniques include parallel imaging, simultaneous excitation MR techniques (exciting multiple slices simultaneously using a composite radiofrequency pulse), compressed-sensing MRI reconstruction and automated protocol selection techniques [29][30][31].…”

Given the increasing use of MRI in the pediatric population, the need for sedation in MRI performed in young children is a topic of growing importance. Although sedation is generally tolerated well by children, the financial and operational impacts of anesthesia on MRI workflow, as well as potential adverse effects of anesthetic medications, highlight the need to perform MRI in children without sedation whenever possible. This review focuses on current techniques to facilitate non-sedation MRI in children, including exam preparation with MRI simulation; asleep but not sedated techniques; awake and relaxed techniques using certified child life specialists, animal-assisted therapy, a child-friendly environment and in-scan entertainment; and non-sedated MRI protocol modifications such as shorter scan time, prioritizing sequences, reducing motion artifact, noise reduction, limiting use of gadolinium, employing an open MRI and modifying protocols.
