Overview
CT scan has been the standard imaging study of retinoblastoma. Retinoblastoma usually appears as an intra-ocular mass with calcification (in 80% of the cases).
CT scan
Retinoblastoma is diagnosed via indirect ophthalmoscopy. Imaging studies are usually done for these goals:[1]
- To confirm the diagnosis in the difficult cases.
- To assess the involvement of extra-ocular extension or associated cerebral lesion in trilateral cases.
Findings on CT scan suggestive of/diagnostic of retinoblastoma include intra-ocular mass with calcification.
- CT scan has been the standard imaging study in the evaluation of retinoblastoma due to its sensitivity in the detection of typical calcification of the tumor appearing in 80% of large tumors.
However, CT scan has less sensitivity compared to MRI in the diagnosis of tumor infiltration to the nearby structures.[1][2]
