Magnetoencephalography in Children

March 24, 2026 updated by: Children's Hospital of Fudan University

An Observational Study on the Clinical Application of Magnetoencephalography in Children With Neurodevelopmental Disorders

This study is a single-center observational clinical study, which evaluates the diagnostic value of magnetoencephalography (MEG) in the diagnosis of neurodevelopmental diseases in children, such as the localization of epileptic foci and brain functional areas, intracranial tumors, cerebrovascular diseases, autism, mental retardation, and neuropsychiatric disorders.
