title: Imaging of metabolic bone disease and marrow disorders in children.
abstract: There are a wide variety of metabolic and infiltrative diseases that involve the bones. Conventional radiography is the primary imaging examination for the initial evaluation of most of these disorders. MR imaging, however, provides detailed information about the bone marrow and is gaining an increasingly important role in the management of disorders of bone marrow infiltration.
