title: Focal liver diseases in neonatal and pediatric liver transplant candidates: a pictorial essay.
abstract: The aim of this review is to present the wide spectrum of common and uncommon focal liver diseases affecting neonatal and pediatric liver transplant candidates, analyzed using ultrasonography (US), 16- or 64-multidetector row helical CT (MDCT) and 1.5-T magnetic resonance (MR) fast imaging. Correlation of imaging findings and explanted liver or histology is illustrated in representative cases. Associated uncommon congenital anomalies are shown.
