Abstract

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of whole-body turbo short tau inversion recovery (STIR) MR imaging to detect metastases in children with small cell tumors and to compare its performance with that of conventional imaging. CONCLUSION. Early data suggest that whole-body turbo STIR MR imaging is as reliable as other conventional imaging studies for staging newly diagnosed small cell tumors in pediatric patients.

摘要

目的。本研究的目的是评估全身快速自旋回波短反转时间反转恢复（STIR）磁共振成像检测小儿小细胞肿瘤转移灶的能力，并将其性能与传统成像进行比较。结论。早期数据表明，全身快速自旋回波STIR磁共振成像在小儿患者新诊断小细胞肿瘤分期方面与其他传统成像研究一样可靠。
