Feasibility study to evaluate whether a diagnostic pediatric MRI scan of the brain can be performed without sedation by using BLADE sequences with rotating blade-like k-space covering. ⋯ Age-adjusted preparation and implementation of a pediatric cranial MRI may reduce the need for sedation. BLADE sequences abate motion artefacts thus enabling acquisition of diagnostic images even in young children. In patients older than 3 years, performance of MRI scans without sedation should be considered.

To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of qualitative descriptors alone and in combination for the classification of focal liver lesions (FLLs) suspicious for metastasis in gadolinium-EOB-DTPA-enhanced liver MR imaging. ⋯ The combination of qualitative lesion descriptors proposed in this work revealed high diagnostic accuracy and interobserver agreement in the differentiation of focal liver lesions suspicious for metastases using Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced liver MRI.
