Abstract

The dynamic and developing pediatric skeleton is a well-elucidated process that occurs in a stepwise faction. Normal development has been reliably tracked and described with Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging. The recognition of the normal patterns of skeletal development is essential, as normal development may mimic pathology and vice versa. The authors review normal skeleton maturation and the corollary imaging findings while highlighting common marrow imaging pitfalls and pathology.

Keywords

Ossification - red marrow - yellow marrow - skeletal maturation - marrow reconversion
