摘要

The World Federation of Pediatric Imaging (WFPI) MR Protocols Committee was formed in response to the critical need for standardized magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols tailored specifically for pediatric populations. This initiative addresses the inherent challenges and variabilities in pediatric MRI practices due to the unique physiological and anatomical characteristics of children, which often result in extended scan times, increased costs, and greater need for sedation. The committee, comprising a diverse group of international radiologists, pediatric imaging societies, and major MRI vendors, collaboratively developed a comprehensive set of MRI protocols. These protocols are designed to enhance diagnostic accuracy, reduce sedation use, and streamline workflows, thereby minimizing healthcare disparities across global regions. Protocols cover a wide range of applications, including neuroradiology, abdominal imaging, and musculoskeletal conditions, with specific focus on practical implementation in both high-resource and resource-limited settings. After rigorous development and refinement through global feedback, these protocols have been made accessible through the WFPI website and will be directly integrated into MRI systems via vendor collaborations. These protocols provide a flexible, foundational approach that can be adapted to suit the needs of centers worldwide. This ensures that even basic protocols are accessible across different settings, allowing customization based on available resources and specific clinical demands.
