Area of Science:

  • Pediatric radiology
  • Hepatology
  • Medical imaging

Background:

  • Evaluating pediatric hepatic diseases often necessitates a multimodal imaging approach.
  • Ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are crucial diagnostic tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review cross-sectional imaging characteristics of hepatic and biliary lesions specific to or common in children.
  • To discuss the distinct roles of US, CT, and MRI in pediatric liver disease evaluation.
  • To outline optimal techniques and protocols for these imaging modalities in pediatric patients.

Main Methods:

  • Review of cross-sectional imaging features of pediatric hepatic and biliary lesions.
  • Discussion of imaging techniques and protocols for ultrasound, CT, and MRI.
  • Focus on lesions unique to or more prevalent in the pediatric population.

Main Results:

  • Ultrasound, CT, and MRI each offer unique contributions to diagnosing pediatric liver and bile duct abnormalities.
  • Specific imaging findings are presented for various childhood-specific hepatic and biliary conditions.
  • The article details the technical aspects and recommended protocols for each imaging modality.

Conclusions:

  • A comprehensive understanding of US, CT, and MRI characteristics is vital for diagnosing pediatric hepatic and biliary diseases.
  • Tailored imaging protocols are essential for effectively evaluating these conditions in children.
  • This review provides a guide to the appropriate use of imaging modalities for pediatric liver and bile duct abnormalities.
