The effects of undetected or untreated traumatic brain injury (TBI) in pediatric patients could be severe, and can lead to disability, morbidity, and death. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging are useful for diagnosing pediatric patients with TBI, but using rapid MR imaging can be the most efficient when determining if the patient requires further examination. Using rapid MR imaging as a screening tool for pediatric TBI, and CT as a follow-up procedure if there is a need indicated by the rapid MR image could reduce the risk of radiation from CT, reduce the risk for possible future malignancies, and reduce the costs and risks of sedation that are used with conventional MR imaging.
This quiz is the companion to the short report, "Diagnosing Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury: Comparing CT and MR Imaging," which appears in the March/April 2022 Radiologic Technology journal.
This activity may be available in multiple formats or from different sponsors. ARRT regulations state that an individual may not repeat a self-learning activity for credit if it was reported in the same biennium.
