title: Past, present and future of pediatric neuroradiology.
abstract: The last century has seen the evolution of neuroimaging from nonexistent to a group of techniques that, in our eyes, appears to be highly sophisticated. The rapidity of advancement in imaging has been concentrated in the last quarter century. There is no reason to expect this continual forward expansion of neuroradiology to abate; rather it seems likely that it will continue to increase at an even faster rate. The near future is one of refinement in imaging, faster and higher resolution as well as a much greater emphasis on physiology and biochemistry.
