To our present knowledge, MR tomography is an imaging procedure with neither ionizing radiation nor invasiveness requiring in children a good preparation and sedation. Especially in the neuro-pediatric field, and in the diagnostics of diseases of the soft tissue the high sensitivity is just as it is of clinical significance in bone tumours and their differential diagnosis. Extensive clinical-empirical examinations are still required to learn about the specificity of the different diseases.
