Magnetic resonance imaging of pelvis and hips in infants, children, and adolescents: a pictorial review.

This is also true in the pediatric population. This article reviews magnetic resonance imaging appearances and techniques for a variety of congenital abnormalities and acquired conditions including posttraumatic, infectious, inflammatory, ischemic, metabolic, benign, and malignant processes.
