-==CT==
-*Computed tomography (CT): CT scan can confirm the location of the cancer and show the organs nearby. This allows doctors to find the neuroblastoma and spot whether it has spread to the bones and/or other parts of the body. CT scans can be useful to look for neuroblastoma in the abdomen, pelvis, and chest.
