Pediatric liver transplant (PLT) is an established treatment for many hepatic conditions in children. In recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of PTL associated with an improved survival. In children however, due to the complex surgical procedures and peculiar hemodynamic physiology there is also an increased risk for vascular and biliary complications. High resolution ultrasonography (US) is the modality of choice to evaluate and monitor the evolution of pediatric liver graft. This exhibit intends to illustrate fellows and residents with the US characteristics of the normal hepatic anatomy, the normal early and late US appearances of the graft, and the US features of complications that may compromise graft’s survival.

Whole-body (WB) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in children is of special interest because it is radiation free and can be used to evaluate systemic conditions, exploiting the advantage of the superior soft-tissue contrast provided by MR imaging. An important clinical application of whole-body MR imaging in children is its use for screening of oncologic conditions, tumor characterization, and staging. However, the list of non-oncologic applications of WB MRI has recently expanded to include the evaluation of numerous multisystemic conditions. This is a pictorial review of different oncologic applications of WB MRI including cancer predisposition syndromes, solid neoplasias and lymphomas, as well as of non-oncologic applications of WB MRI including chronic recurrent osteomyelitis (CRMO), enthesitis related arthritis (ERA), vascular malformations and benign tumors. In this review we discuss the advantages and challenges of conventional and functional MRI sequences including the use of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), color-encoded DWI enhanced with iron supplement Ferumoxytol as blood pool contrast agent, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the recently introduced WB positron emission tomography (PET)/MRI.
