%X There is a diverse array of pediatric brain tumors with considerable associated morbidity. Like adult brain tumors, MRI serves as the primary imaging modality for pediatric brain tumors. In addition to standard sequences, more advanced MRI techniques can enhance the precision of diagnosis and assist in prognostication, and treatment planning. This paper discusses these various advanced techniques categorizing them into those that assist in identifying tissue characteristics, and those that evaluate the functional impact of tumors to aid in treatment planning.
