A retrospective comparison of image quality in T2-weighted paediatric brain MRI using Children- centred Care versus anaesthesia

Key Points

• This research evaluates the image quality of T2-weighted brain MRI in children, comparing two methods: children-centred care and anaesthesia.
• Conducted a retrospective comparison of MRI image quality
• Assessed patients using children-centred care and those under anaesthesia
• Utilized visual grading analysis (VGA) for image quality assessment
• Findings indicate that children-centred care enhances overall image quality
• The use of children-centred care reduced the need for anaesthesia
• The CCC approach improved the patient experience while lowering associated risks and costs
