Intelligent Accelerated MRI for Pediatric Abdominal Pain

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Accelerated MRI scanning: All patients underwent MRI scans of the abdominal and pelvic regions on the uMR 790 scanner at Tongji Hospital's Optical Valley Campus. The scanning protocol included multiplanar ACS T2WI sequences, TACS T2WI sequences, and conventional T2WI sequences. ACS T2WI sequence: Used for preliminary motion artifact correction. TACS T2WI sequence: Employed for advanced motion artifact correction and provided dynamic images of organ movement. Conventional T2WI sequence: Served as the standard reference for comparison.

Study summary

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an intelligent accelerated MRI technique in children with abdominal pain. The main question it aims to answer is:

Does the intelligent accelerated MRI reduce scan time while maintaining diagnostic accuracy in pediatric patients?

Participants will:

Receive an abdominal MRI scan using the accelerated protocol as part of their clinical evaluation.

Have their scan duration and image quality compared to conventional MRI standards.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Scan Time Reduction with Intelligent Accelerated MRI — During MRI scan procedure (single time point).
  Comparison of total scan time (minutes) for abdominal/pelvic MRI using the intelligent accelerated protocol (ACS-T2WI and TACS-T2WI sequences) versus conventional T2WI sequences, while maintaining diagnostic image quality (assessed by radiologists using a 5-point Likert scale).
