Overview
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of wilms' tumor.
Ultrasound
- Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of wilms tumor.
- It is the best initial diagnostic study used in cases suspected with wilms tumor.
- Ultrasonography can help identify the mass as a kidney mass.
- It can distinguish tumor mass from other causes of renal swelling like hydronephrosis.[1]
- Doppler ultrasonography can help to detect invasion of renal vein and IVC by the tumor.[2]
