Summary

Magnetic resonance imagining (MRI) in children requires sedation to achieve the degree of cooperation or immobilization, necessary to complete these procedures successfully. In this study the investigators analyze two most popular anesthetics used for this procedure, sodium thiopental and propofol. The aim of this study is to determine optimal dose of propofol and thiopental during MRI and to establish safety and efficacy of these drugs.
