OBJECTIVE. This article illustrates an approach to MRI for hepatobiliary imaging in children. The indications, patient preparation, protocols, pulse sequences, and contrast agents will be highlighted. CONCLUSION. Significant advances in hepatobiliary MRI have allowed reliable, high quality imaging in a pediatric population. © American Roentgen Ray Society.
