Applications of magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography to evaluate the hepatic vasculature in the pediatric patient.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) offer several techniques to evaluate the hepatic vasculature. These techniques are briefly reviewed with reference to the pediatric population. Examples of MRI and MRA in the evaluation of the hepatic vasculature in pediatric patients are presented.
