  • Discussion of image fusion techniques combining different imaging modalities.

    • Main Results:

    • Structural imaging provides anatomical detail of the pediatric CNS.
    • Functional imaging offers insights into physiological and metabolic processes.
    • Image fusion techniques (e.g., SPECT/MRI, CT/MRI) enhance diagnostic capabilities by superimposing data.

    Conclusions:

    • A comprehensive understanding of both structural and functional imaging is crucial for pediatric CNS assessment.
    • Image fusion represents a significant advancement, enabling integrated analysis of anatomical and physiological data.
    • These imaging advancements improve the diagnosis and management of pediatric neurological conditions.
