Although magnetoencephalography (MEG) may not be familiar to many pediatric radiologists, it is an increasingly available neuroimaging technique both for evaluating normal and abnormal intracranial neural activity and for functional mapping. By providing spatial, temporal, and time-frequency spectral information, MEG affords patients with epilepsy, intracranial neoplasia, and vascular malformations an opportunity for a sensitive and accurate non-invasive preoperative evaluation. This technique can optimize selection of surgical candidates as well as increase confidence in preoperative counseling and prognosis. Research applications that appear promising for near-future clinical translation include the evaluation of children with autism spectrum disorder, traumatic brain injury, and schizophrenia.
尽管脑磁图（MEG）对于许多儿科放射科医生来说可能并不熟悉，但它是一种越来越普及的神经影像学技术，可用于评估正常和异常颅内神经活动以及功能定位。MEG 通过提供空间、时间和时频谱信息，为癫痫、颅内肿瘤和血管畸形患者提供了一种敏感和准确的非侵入性术前评估机会。该技术可以优化手术候选者的选择，并增加术前咨询和预后的信心。对于近期的临床转化，有一些研究应用似乎很有前景，包括对自闭症谱系障碍、创伤性脑损伤和精神分裂症患儿的评估。
