Core Tip	This study determines blood flow in children's abdomens using a unique form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) known as four-dimensional (4D) flow. The superior mesenteric artery and vein were the primary targets of the medical team's attention. This method does not involve radiation; therefore, it is safer than traditional X-rays. It also depicts the direction and speed of blood flow. There were nine youngsters who were examined, and the findings demonstrated that 4D flow MRI can assist in the early detection of stomach disorders. It has the potential to improve pediatric care while decreasing expenses and dangers. The 4D flow MRI could prove rather useful in treating intestinal problems with future investigation.
