Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging

Pediatric Radiology volume 20, pages 10–19 (1989)Cite this article

Abstract

A review of the first five years of experience with pediatric abdominal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MR) is presented. The abdomen is examined organ by organ with description of normal anatomy and pathological processes. Practical clinical uses of MR are indicated. There is a brief review of motion artifact supression techniques.
