Brain tumour MRIs - children and parents’ views

MRI is essential to the clinical management of children and young people with brain tumours and it is common practice to show these to patients and families, but how they emotionally respond to seeing brain tumour imaging? Rachel Agbeko explores the qualitative study "Patients’ and parents’ views on brain tumour MRIs" with the leading author of the paper Natalie Tyldesley-Marshall (Research fellow at the Institute of Applied Health Research, University of Birmingham, UK) and Dr Gail Halliday, Consultant in Paediatric Oncology, Great North Children’s Hospital, The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
