Abstract
Numerous challenges exist in pediatric MR imaging, which, generally speaking, stem from two interacting factors: the subject population and the MR environment. To begin, neonatal and pediatric patients are not more compacted versions of adults. Rather, relative to adults, they demonstrate marked differences in both the structure and function of their central nervous systems.
