Abstract
Gray-scale ultrasound and computed tomography were diagnostically and clinically valuable in the study of 13 of 17 children with neuroblastoma. Use of ultrasound and computed tomography resulted in diagnoses not possible with conventional techniques, such as plain radiographs and excretory urograms; defined more clearly the normal and pathologic anatomy in a 3-dimensional perspective; was an aid in evaluating extra-abdominal manifestations; and permitted follow-up after surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.
