Role of MRI in the management of neuroblastoma

ABSTRACT

The increasing]y popular magnetic resonance imaging technique is gaining grounds as an important diagnostic modality. The aim of this work was to evaluate its utility in the management of neuroblastoma. 30 neuroblastoma patients represented the general population of our work were subjected to various MRI imaging techniques together with the use of intravenous contrast medium. The results of the work revealed that MRI can play a beneficial role in the diagnosis, staging and monitoring the treatment response of neuroblastoma in different anatomical locations
