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.
