Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in paediatric brain tumours systematically reviewed

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the ability of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI to differentiate between paediatric brain tumour types.
Conducted a systematic review of existing literature on DCE MRI in paediatric brain tumours.
Analyzed the discriminative capabilities between low-grade and high-grade lesions.
Assessed the prognostic implications of the technique.
DCE MRI shows potential to differentiate between specific tumour entities.
General ability to discriminate between low-grade and high-grade tumours is uncertain.
Emphasizes need for more technical homogeneity and additional studies.

Abstract

DCE may be of added value to discriminate between two different paediatric brain tumour entities, but a general discrimination potential between low- and high-grade lesions is doubtful. More studies and greater technical homogeneity are needed to investigate the technique's prognostic potential for paediatric cohorts.
