Overview

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

MRI

  • Abdominal MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of wilms tumor.[1]
  • One of the most important role of MRI in wilms tumor is to determine if tumor invaded inferior vena cava or not.[2]
  • The findings of MRI are:[3]
    • Low signal intensity on T1-weighted images.
    • High signal intensity on T2-weighted images.
