Improved Delineation of Ventricular Shunt Catheters Using Fast Steady-State Gradient Recalled-Echo Sequences in a Rapid Brain MR Imaging Protocol in Nonsedated Pediatric Patients

Rapid brain MR imaging is often substituted for head CT in multiply imaged patients with shunted hydrocephalus. Fast TSE-T2 sequences are commonly used in these protocols. One limitation of TSE-T2 sequences is the decreased catheter delineation compared with CT. The aim of this study was to compare...
