MRI spine examinations are an important tool in pediatric care. Long acquisition times and artifacts related to motion and flow are a regular challenge in these examinations. Spiral MRI offers substantial potential benefits with regards to both acquisition time and artifact reduction. This work studies spiral MRI for gradient echo imaging of the pediatric spine and demonstrates promising results in preliminary patient data. The results from a contrast and SNR optimization study in a volunteer are also presented.
