Abstract:
Few studies exist in the literature on pediatric brain tumors examined with advances MRI techniques. The aim of this review is to try to find out some specific tissular characteristics of the main cerebral tumors encountered in children, especially through diffusion imaging, perfusion imaging and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). However, hemispheric cerebral tumors are not as common as in the adult population.

Brain Imaging
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
