Skeletal surveys are currently considered standard-of-care for the evaluation of fractures in infants with suspected abuse. It has been well described that subtle fractures may be missed and soft tissue and visceral injuries are often undetected using this radiographic modality in Whole body MRI (WB-MRI) is mainly used in oncology and infectious disease, however, its application in the field of child abuse pediatrics has not been well studied.
