AB  - Accurate classification of soft tissue vascular anomalies is critical since 
      treatment options and morbidity differ significantly for the various groups of 
      vascular anomalies (VA). A classification system introduced by Mulliken and 
      Glowacki in 1982 explained the biology of VA, thus resulting in improved 
      management and communication between different disciplines taking care of 
      children with soft tissue vascular anomalies. This classification has been 
      updated by the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies in 1996 
      and forms the basis for the current nomenclature. Although the majority of 
      vascular anomalies can be accurately classified by their clinical history and a 
      physical exam, imaging is necessary to determine the full anatomical extent of 
      the anomaly, to follow up treatment response, to confirm diagnosis, and to 
      provide correct classification in challenging cases when necessary. This article 
      will review the key magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of most common soft 
      tissue vascular anomalies in children. MRI and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic 
      resonance angiography are crucial for the evaluation of vascular anomalies in 
      children because of lack of radiation, high soft tissue resolution, and the 
      capability of dynamic contrast-enhanced images to reflect the hemodynamics of the 
      anomalies.
