Retroperitoneal diseases are frequently a great clinical challenge because of their nonspecific presentation. Diseases may be asymptomatic with indolent biological behavior, and often show a large mass at initial imaging…
MR imaging has been optimized for the evaluation of a multitude of disease processes affecting the kidneys. A wide variety of noncontrast methods are available for the evaluation of both…
Superior soft tissue and contrast resolution of MR imaging benefits sensitivity to kidney cyst features and classification, which may have an impact on patient management and outcomes. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)…
MR imaging is frequently used to assess pediatric genital disorders. The ability to obtain 3-dimensional sequences allowing for multiplanar reformations and sequences designed to minimize motion artifact have aided in…
Overnight in-house radiology has rapidly become an important part of contemporary practice models, and is increasingly the norm in pediatric radiology. MR imaging is an indispensable first-line and problem-solving tool…
Discoid meniscus (DM) is currently considered as a spectrum of disorders in meniscal shape and stability. Diagnosing DM on MR imaging has clinical and surgical implications. When diagnosing a DM…
PET/MR imaging is an integrated imaging system that combines the high soft tissue resolution of MR imaging with the quantitative data obtained from PET into a single system. It is…
Recent advances in understanding lymphatic disorders have significantly improved noninvasive imaging of the lymphatic circulation, especially in pediatric patients. The ability to obtain high-quality MR imaging using 3-dimensional reconstruction has…
Pediatric musculoskeletal tumors comprise approximately 10% of childhood neoplasms, and MR imaging has been used as the imaging evaluation standard for these tumors. The role of MR imaging in these…
High-quality MR imaging of the hepatobiliary system is increasingly being used to evaluate focal and diffuse liver disease in children. Advances in magnetic resonance hepatobiliary imaging including magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography,…
