REVIEW
Magnetic resonance imaging of primary pediatric liver tumors.
Pediatric Radiology 2016 May
Although primary hepatic neoplasms are less common than other intra-abdominal tumors in children, these neoplasms are a significant source of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population. MRI is increasingly relied upon in the diagnostic evaluation of these lesions, both before and after treatment, and familiarity with the MRI findings associated with these neoplasms is a must for pediatric radiologists. Advances in MRI technology, particularly the advent of hepatocyte-specific gadolinium-based MRI contrast agents, have allowed for accurate characterization of several types of hepatic neoplasms on the basis of imaging appearance. In this review, we provide an overview of the approach to imaging hepatic neoplasms in children using MRI, including a sample imaging protocol. We also discuss the relevant clinical features and MRI findings of the most clinically relevant entities, including their appearance on post-contrast imaging using hepatocyte-specific gadolinium-based MRI contrast agents.
