Cost and access considerations for magnetic resonance imaging screening of infants with congenital melanocytic nevi: Author's response to correspondence

To the Editor: In response to Dr Narayanan's letter addressing our original article,1 we are grateful for the opportunity to explore further considerations for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) screening in children with congenital melanocytic nevi. This letter from India, along with prior letters in response to our study from authors in the United Kingdom and Germany, emphasize geographic variations in imaging practices. Such differences raise an additional variable for discussion: MRI screening must be decided in the context of cost and resource constraints.
