Overview

CT scan of the neck, chest and abdomen is the gold standard test in neuroblastoma as it can localize the tumor and determine degree of involvement as well. CT scan in neuroblastoma can show the presence of; heterogeneous mass, calcification, necrosis, compression of surrounding vessels, invasion of psoas muscle & kidneys and swollen lymph nodes.

CT scan

  • CT scan of the neck, chest and abdomen is the gold standard test for neuroblastoma.[1][2]
  • CT scan can localize the tumor and determine degree of involvement simultaneously.
  • CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of neuroblastoma. Findings on CT scan suggestive of neuroblastoma include: :[3][4][5]
