Making MR Imaging Child's Play - Pediatric Neuroimaging Protocol, Guidelines and Procedure

Abstract: Within the last decade there has been an increase in the use of structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural basis of human perception, cognition and behavior 1, 2 . Moreover, this non-invasive imaging method has grown into a tool for clinicians and researchers to explore typical and atypical brain development. Although advances in neuroimaging tools and techniques are apparent, (f)MRI in young pediatric populations remains relatively infrequent 2 . Practical as well as… Show more

“…Our findings comport with and extend prior reports: Children pose greater obstacles for magnetic resonance scanning (Raschle et al 2009;Poldrack et al 2002), and challenges are greater with younger age (Kern et al 2006;Byars et al 2002;Yerys et al 2009) and magnified with conditions such as ASD (Kern et al 2006;Yerys et al 2009). We built on others' successes, and findings support relaxation (Raschle et al 2009), high-quality personal interactions (Poldrack et al 2002;Clark and Rutter 1981), and strong parental input (Nordahl et al 2008) to enhance comfort and compliance.…”

“…Successful completion of MR protocols is often compromised by participant inattention and non-compliance (Corbett and Constantine 2006;Sturm et al 2004), anxiety (Gillott and Standen 2007;Gillott et al 2001), fatigue, and sensory (auditory and tactile) sensitivity (Cascio et al 2008;Kern et al 2006;Rogers et al 2003), leading to higher failure rates in younger children (Raschle et al 2009;Poldrack et al 2002;Byars et al 2002) and those with conditions such as ASD (Yerys et al 2009). …”

“…The participants' in-scanner performance was closely monitored (for details see ref. 81). To ensure that the participants were engaged in the tasks, participants with more than 40% of trials unanswered were excluded from the imaging analyses.…”

“…In addition to reducing anxiety and providing a more positive experience for the patient and family, research demonstrates that preparation and coping facilitation interventions decrease the need for sedation in procedures such as MRIs, resulting in lower risks for the child and cost savings in personnel, anesthesia, and throughputrelated expenses. [35][36][37] Preparation techniques, materials, and language must be adapted to the developmental level, personality, and unique experiences of the child and his or her family. Learning is enhanced with "hands-on" methods versus exclusively verbal explanations.…”
