Overview

MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of Wilms' tumor.

MRI

MRI is probably the most accurate modality in assessing for IVC involvement . These tumours appear heterogeneous on all sequences and frequently contain blood products, but typically are:[1]

  • T1: hypointense
  • T1 C+ (Gd): heterogeneous enhancement
  • T2: hyperintense
