| Summary: | Jaundice in children have various etiologies. Among them, physiological jaundice is a very common
disease observed in more than half of full-term neonates. When jaundice persists or develops after 2
weeks of age, the total/direct bilirubin is measured in consideration of the possibility of cholestasis. In
case of cholestasis, imaging studies differentiate biliary atresia and other disorders of the extrahepatic
bile ducts. In this review, we briefly presented the major differential diseases of cholestasis in children
and introduced diagnostic imaging techniques, including normal findings.
