Feasibility and Potential Diagnostic Value of Noncontrast Brain MRI in Nonsedated Children With Sturge-Weber Syndrome and Healthy Siblings
This study demonstrates the feasibility and the potential diagnostic value of a nonsedate, noncontrast MRI acquisition protocol in young children including those with cognitive impairment and/or behavioral concerns. This approach can facilitate clinical trials in children where safe serial MRI is warranted.
