Overview
Abdominal MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of Wilms tumor. One of the most important role of MRI in Wilms tumor is to determine if tumor invaded inferior vena cava or not.
MRI
- Abdominal MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of Wilms tumor. Findings on MRI suggestive of Wilms tumor include:[1][2]
- Invasion to inferior vena cava
- Low signal intensity on T1-weighted images
- High signal intensity on T2-weighted images
