European Society for Paediatric Oncology (SIOPE) MRI guidelines for imaging patients with central nervous system tumours

Standardisation of imaging acquisition is essential in facilitating multicentre studies related to childhood CNS tumours. It important ensure that the protocol can be adopted by centres with varying capabilities without compromising image quality. An has been developed Brain Tumour Imaging Working Group European Society for Paediatric Oncology (SIOPE) based on consensus among its members, which consists neuroradiologists, scientists and paediatric neuro-oncologists. This facilitate SIOPE led regularly reviewed working group. The MRI sequences parameters 1.5 3 Tesla scanners a set optional used appropriate clinical settings. also provides guidelines early post-operative surveillance imaging. complementary use multimodal advanced including diffusion tensor (DTI), MR spectroscopy perfusion encouraged, guidance provided this publication. brain tumour will enable consistent across multiple involved studies.
