Neuroimaging techniques in pediatric patients
Keywords:
Diseases, Diagnosis, Neuroimaging, Pediatrics, Techniques, TreatmentAbstract
Introduction: before the advent of neuroimaging techniques, scientists had to rely on much more precarious means to get closer to understanding the nervous system. Imaging diagnostic techniques have revolutionized the methods of detecting diseases in individuals, both adults and pediatric ages.
Objective: to describe the application of neuroimaging techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric conditions of the central nervous system.
Methodological Design: a bibliographic review was carried out from July to August 2023, where original articles, case reports and open access systematic reviews in peer-reviewed academic publications from the last 5 years were consulted. The databases of SciELO, Regmed, Dialnet, Mayoclinic, among others, were reviewed.
Results: some of the neuroimaging techniques currently used are: Magnetic Resonance, Positron Emission Tomography, Electroencephalography and Magnetoencephalography (MEG), which are applied in both fetal, neonatal and pediatric medicine.
Conclusions: the use of magnetic resonance imaging is highlighted as a gold standard for the imaging study of the brain, in the first years of life, without forgetting the multiple applications and advantages of CT and other more recent ones such as MEG.
