Contrast Enhanced Mri

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), frequently with contrast enhancement, is the preferred imaging modality for many indications in children. Practice varies widely between centers, reflecting the rapid pace of change and the need for further research. Guideline changes, for example on contrast-medium choice, require continued practice reappraisal. This article reviews recent developments in pediatric contrast-enhanced MRI and offers recommendations on current best practice. Nine leading pediatric radiologists from internationally recognized radiology centers convened at a consensus meeting in Bordeaux, France, to discuss applications of contrast-enhanced MRI across a range of indications in children. Review of the literature indicated that few published data provide guidance on best practice in pediatric MRI. Discussion among the experts concluded that MRI is preferred over ionizing-radiation modalities for many indications, with advantages in safety and efficacy. Awareness of age-specific adaptations in MRI technique can optimize image quality. Gadolinium-based contrast media are recommended for enhancing imaging quality. The choice of most appropriate contrast medium should be based on criteria of safety, tolerability, and efficacy, characterized in age-specific clinical trials and personal experience.

Objective.To determine the most relevant radiological features in quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of sacroiliac (SI) joints in patients with recent-onset ankylosing spondylitis (AS) versus patients with SI involvement due to other rheumatic diseases, or to degenerative SI pain.Methods.We retrospectively analyzed laboratory values, clinical data, and MRI of the SI joints of 179 patients admitted for evaluation of AS-suspicious SI pain. Standardized MRI sequences were performed at time of first presentation, then archived, and retrospectively quantitatively assessed using a modified SPARCC method for formal statistical comparisons.Results.Of all patients, 27 (15%) were diagnosed with definite AS. The remainder had SI involvement in other rheumatic diseases, HLA-B27– spondyloarthropathy, or nonspecific degenerative changes. While joint space irregularities, bone marrow edema, subcortical cysts, and contrast medium enhancement were found in MRI of all patients, these features were inconsistent, and only erosions were statistically significantly (p < 0.02) in patients diagnosed with AS. Only in AS, the presence of erosions and the quantitative SPARCC erosion subscore correlated to a statistically significant degree (p < 0.02) with laboratory levels of inflammation.Conclusion.Erosions alone, not bone marrow edema or contrast medium enhancement, are the most disease-specific measurable imaging findings in SI MRI of patients with AS.
