摘要：
Background There is controversy regarding the utility of routine surveillance scanning for asymptomatic children with brain tumors. Although the role of CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning in this setting has been examined in several studies, none have focused on children followed exclusively by MRI. The purpose of this study was to determine how often recurrent brain tumors are detected by routine MRI surveillance in asymptomatic children.
