Abstract

There are only a few review-articles in the literature on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in infants and children (14,12) and there is only one book dealing with this subject (15), in spite of the fact that MRI is a powerful image modality that is safe and painless and has a great potential to become an important imaging modality in infants and children. In 1986 Cohen gives in his review (14) a description of the current status of MRI in Pediatrics in that time, after referring to 115 articles in the literature dealing in a greater or lesser extend with children. After 1985 many more articles came into press and it seems that MRI establish itself as a modality of choice for many clinical situations. There is no doubt that MRI is the modality of choice in abnormalities in the central nervous system and in musculoskeletal disorders. In other areas there still has to be done more research for estimating the real place of MRI in the diagnostic tree.
