Do t2 mapping of the heart with a double-inversion radial fast spin-echo method with indirect echo compensation?
DIR-RADFSE yielded TE images with high spatiotemporal resolution. Two algorithms for generating T2 maps from highly undersampled data were evaluated in terms of accuracy and reproducibility. Results showed that CURLIE-SEPG yields T2 estimates that are reproducible and more accurate than ES.
Both SF and ICA are common in children younger than 2 years evaluated for head trauma. Children younger than 12 months are at highest risk. Injuries resulted from relatively minor falls and occurred in alert, neurologically normal children. Clinical signs and symptoms were insensitive predictors of SF/ICA; however, a grouping of features (fall<or = 3 ft [0.9 m], no history of neurologic symptoms, and normal scalp physical examination results) identified a subset of children at low risk for complications.
