On the right: In this exemplary chosen transversal T2-weighted Turbo Spin Echo image, the extensive bilateral laminar necrosis and the presence of basal ganglia foci are clearly visible.

On the right: syngo® DTI allows to study the structural integrity of the cerebral nerve tracts of the conjoined twins in each dimension (resulting spatial resolution: 2.2 x 2.2 x 2.0 mm)

On the left: Fat-suppressed T1 weighted VIBE image after contrast (sagittal) is shown. It has been acquired using the 4-channel flex coil, providing high signal-to-noise ratio and therefore detailed anatomical information about the pathology. The extend of the lytic involvement of the radius is well delineated. Note the excellent fat saturation in this anatomically difficult area.

On the right: Transverse T2-weighted Turbo Spin Echo sequence with syngo BLADE motion correction was used in this case of a 3-year-old girl*. This image was acquired while free breathing and without navigator based respiratory compensation, clearly demonstrating the potential of syngo BLADE in reducing motion artifacts. In this exemplary chosen transversal slice it is demonstrated that the extent of the abdominal neuroblastoma is well delineated and all relevant anatomical structures are visualized in detail.

On the left: T2-weighted TIRM image of the pelvis with spectral fat suppression, demonstrating the abnormal widespread bone marrow signal intensity. Also, a large anterior mediastinal tumor was found in this 2-year-old boy*.
