Imaging of neuroblastoma: an overview

This review article briefly describes the pathology, clinical features, prognosis, and treatment of neuroblastoma. The emphasis is on applications of newer diagnostic modalities (sonography, nuclear scintigraphy, computed tomography) for imaging and staging. The potential role of magnetic resonance...

Description
Summary:This review article briefly describes the pathology, clinical features, prognosis, and treatment of neuroblastoma. The emphasis is on applications of newer diagnostic modalities (sonography, nuclear scintigraphy, computed tomography) for imaging and staging. The potential role of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy is discussed.
