Abstract:
Magnetic resonance imaging is used for evaluating focal liver lesions, hepatic vascular diseases, biliary diseases and diffuse liver diseases in children. MRI examinations take a long time, often requiring sedation or anesthesia in smaller children. This makes it essential to understand the concepts and technique necessary to obtain an optimal examination for answering the clinical question while minimizing the need for sedation/anesthesia. We discuss key concepts including appropriate sequence selection, choice of contrast media, dynamic imaging, phases of contrast enhancement and protocol organization.
