The article “Assessment of the low-field magnetic resonance imaging for the brain scan imaging of the infant hydrocephalus’ was retracted after thorough investigations that confirmed that the article included several plagiarized images without the consent of the original authors.[1,2] On receiving a notification from the authors of the,[1] an investigation was launched and the authors were invited to respond. We reached the conclusion that the article has violated that the ethical policy of the journal beyond any doubt and at least five of the existing images in the article are copied from (1) and another image is copied from (2) without permission.
