Pediatric reference values of anterior visual pathway structures measured with axis-correction on high-resolution 3D T2 fast spin echo sequences.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The size of the anterior visual pathway (AVP) structures is affected by patient age and pathology. Normative data is useful when determining whether pathology is present. AVP structures do not respect the standard planes of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The aim of this study was to produce normative age-related and axis-corrected data of the AVP structures using multiplanar reformation (MPR) of high-resolution 3D T2-weighted fast spin echo (3D T2w FSE) images.

Methods

For each patient 32 measurements of AVP structures were obtained in 145 children (2 months - 18 years) with normal brain MR studies on high-resolution 3D T2w FSE images adjusted to the axis of each AVP structure. Descriptive statistics were calculated for different age classes and growth models we
