title: Pediatric bone marrow MR imaging.
abstract: This article provides an overview of the current use of MR imaging in the evaluation of pediatric bone marrow disorders, illustrating their appearance on commonly used MR imaging sequences. Recognition of normal developmental bone marrow changes and variants is important in pediatric MR imaging interpretation, and in selection of appropriate acquisition sequences. This overview should serve as a practical aid in the interpretation of bone marrow lesions in children.
