Table 8 Key findings as identified by the senior reviewers were separated into abnormalities involving the ventricles, CSF, parenchyma and vessels for each of the 32 patients. Study population included 6 patients less than 2 years of age and the male to female ratio was 0.53. Patients were scanned on GE machines using either a 1.5T 450W scanner or a 3T 750W scanner. *Y=years; M=months
