Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an essential tool in the evaluation of pediatric liver disease. However, the unique physiological, anatomical, and behavioral characteristics of pediatric patients present distinct challenges that necessitate tailored imaging strategies. These guidelines, developed by members of the Society for Pediatric Radiology (SPR) Magnetic Resonance and Abdominal Imaging Committees, provide comprehensive recommendations for performing high-quality liver MRI in children. Drawing on multidisciplinary expertise from pediatric radiologists, MRI physicists, and technologists across diverse institutions, the document addresses key technical considerations, including field strength selection, motion mitigation, contrast agent use, and age-specific protocol optimization. These guidelines aim to standardize and elevate the quality of pediatric liver MRI, offering practical, evidence-informed recommendations to support safe, efficient, and diagnostically robust imaging across a wide range of clinical scenarios.

儿童肝脏MRI的最佳实践：来自儿童放射学磁共振和腹部成像委员会成员的指南。

磁共振成像（MRI）已成为评估儿童肝脏疾病的重要工具。然而，儿科患者独特的生理、解剖和行为特征提出了独特的挑战，需要量身定制的成像策略。这些指南由儿科放射学会（SPR）磁共振和腹部成像委员会成员制定，为在儿童中进行高质量的肝脏MRI提供了全面的建议。利用来自不同机构的儿科放射科医生、MRI物理学家和技术专家的多学科专业知识，该文件解决了关键的技术问题，包括场强选择、运动缓解、造影剂使用和针对特定年龄的方案优化。这些指南旨在标准化和提高儿童肝脏MRI的质量，提供实用的、循证的建议，以支持在广泛的临床场景中安全、高效和诊断可靠的成像。

期刊介绍： Official Journal of the European Society of Pediatric Radiology, the Society for Pediatric Radiology and the Asian and Oceanic Society for Pediatric Radiology Pediatric Radiology informs its readers of new findings and progress in all areas of pediatric imaging and in related fields. This is achieved by a blend of original papers, complemented by reviews that set out the present state of knowledge in a particular area of the specialty or summarize specific topics in which discussion has led to clear conclusions. Advances in technology, methodology, apparatus and auxiliary equipment are presented, and modifications of standard techniques are described. Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been reviewed by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in an appropriate version of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
