The magnetic resonance enterography imaging features of symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum in pediatric patients: a retrospective observational study of 31 cases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this study was to explore the magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) imaging manifestations of a symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum (MD) in pediatric patients in order to provide a reference for the diagnosis of the condition.
