Abstract

Magnetization transfer (MT) is a new MR imaging technique which has the potential to create contrast differences between normal and pathologic tissues distinct from T1- and T2-weighted contrast. The technique has been used in adults but received little consideration for pediatric imaging. This article reports the successful creation of MT contrast between normal and abnormal tissues in seven children.
