Pediatric advanced neuroimaging is an evolving field that enables continuous improvements in patient care through applications of cutting-edge techniques. Currently, many advanced pediatric neuroimaging modalities facilitate rapid, noninvasive, or functional assessments while improving image quality and decreasing ionizing radiation exposure and/or need for procedural sedation. This article provides an up-to-date review of current and developing MR and computed tomography pediatric neuroimaging techniques with increasing relevance to daily clinical practice.
