Overview
Abdominal MRI is helpful in the diagnosis of hepatoblastoma. On MRI, hepatoblastoma is characterized by generally hypointensity on T1-weighted imaging and generally hyperintensity compared to liver with areas of necrosis and hemorrhage on T2-weighted imaging.[1]
MRI
- Abdominal MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of hepatoblastoma.
- Findings on MRI suggestive of hepatoblastoma include:[1][2]
- MRI has the advantage of multiplanar soft-tissue characterization, lack of harmful ionizing radiation and when diffusion-weighted imaging techniques are used, MRI is exquisitely sensitive for detecting tiny liver lesions.
