Core Tip

Core Tip: 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging has the potential to revolutionize paediatric neuroimaging, offering unparalleled clarity and precision given that the necessary safety precautions and challenges are addressed. Its heightened sensitivity reveals subtle structural abnormalities, aids in epilepsy diagnosis, and provides deeper insights into conditions like neuro-oncology. Harnessing the power of ultra-high-field imaging may provide access to a new era of diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic planning for paediatric patients.
