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

KBK. BrageGVG.B. VilladsenDHD.S. Heglingegård

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

Abstract

VGA provides a structured approach to assessing image quality and could form the basis for developing standardised paediatric brain MRI criteria. These findings support CCC as a feasible, patient-centred alternative that reduces anaesthesia use, risks and costs, while enhancing the overall patient experience.
