Abuse-related trauma in children involving the abdomino-pelvic and musculoskeletal systems is unfortunately common, and MRI is uncommonly utilized as a primary modality in this setting. There are, however, specialized indications in which MRI can provide additional clinically-relevant information can that impact management. These indications include assessment of pancreatic / pancreatic duct injury, sequela of pelvic inflammatory disease, and genital trauma. Musculoskeletal and soft tissue injuries and their extent can also be well documented using MRI. MRI can provide a complementary role in these types of indications.
