title: Imaging of pediatric liver tumors.
abstract: Primary pediatric liver tumors are a unique group of neoplasms. The age at presentation, clinical sigma symptoms, and imaging characteristics provide helpful clues in making a prospective diagnosis and in tailoring a differential diagnosis. The role of imaging is fourfold: characterization, localization, determination of resectability, and follow-up use. MR is usually complementary to ultrasound and CT.
