J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1986 Nov-Dec;10(6):1047-9. doi: 10.1097/00004728-198611000-00032.

Abstract

Alagille syndrome is a rare cause of chronic liver failure which may be treated by liver transplantation. When underlying hepatic tumor is present, transplantation has had poor results. Magnetic resonance imaging may be a sensitive, noninvasive method to evaluate the presence of tumor before transplantation.
