Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of a specific MRI technique (delayed 3D IR FLASH) in evaluating the lower airways of children during routine cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging.
  • The study included 180 pediatric patients, with a high image quality rating and visibility of lower airways; around 21% of patients showed lower airway abnormalities, particularly among those with congenital heart disease.
  • The results suggest that this MRI method is highly reliable and effective for viewing lower airway anatomy, enhancing the potential for identifying issues in children with heart conditions.
