- Comparing CT-Like Bone Images Based on Fast Field Echo Resembling a CT Using Restricted Echo Spacing (FRACTURE) MR with CT in Pediatric Congenital Vertebral Anomalies
FRACTURE MR is reliable for bone imaging in pediatric complex spinal anomalies and can be complementary to conventional MR in providing osseous details, reducing the need for additional study, and avoiding radiation. The bone signal and cortical trabecular differentiation are excellent in older children (>3 years old).
