Vascular imaging is crucial for diagnosis, assessment of disease extent and management of the disease. In this article, we critically review evidence for the clinical use of the different imaging modalities conventional angiography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, Doppler ultrasound and 18fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. We thereby focus on their clinical applicability, challenges and specific use in children. ER -
