Popis: MRI is the optimum modality in imaging studies for diseases of the CNS and musculoskeletal systems. During MRI scans, no movement is allowed for 30-50 minutes. Therefore most children under age 7 need to be sedated. Judicious use of pentobarbital sodium allows for safe and expedient MRI scans to be completed and requires nursing observation.
