Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Children, aged 6-16 years,
- Introducing one or more clinical indications for performing a chest CT with and without contrast injection within 1 day to 3 months.
- Monitoring at the Necker Hospital.

You may not qualify if:
- Contraindication to performing MRI: claustrophobia, cochlear implant, nerve stimulator, pacemaker implant or intra-cardiac metallic foreign body, chest or eye.
- Need for MRI under sedation or general anesthesia.
- Indication of an emergency CT within less than 12 hours (especially suspected pulmonary embolism).
