This article provides clinical neurologists with an overview of pediatric neuroimaging. Pediatric neuroimaging is a broad subject, and its details are beyond the scope of any short review article. First this article briefly highlights different stages of brain development and explains how these stages correlate with various congenital brain anomalies. It then focuses on the safety of pediatric neuroimaging, discussing important issues in pediatric sedation and hazards of exposure of ionizing radiation. Last, it describes the advent of modern neuroimaging tools, such as diffusion tensor imaging and MR spectroscopy, and their emerging role in evaluating multiple pediatric brain disorders.
