Abstract

The use of GD-DTPA was introduced recently for MR imaging of the body. This paper presents our experience with GD-DTPA enhanced MRI in the evaluation of neuroblastoma in children. The characteristics of the tumor-enhancement are described, its contribution to the diagnosis and the follow-up of this disease are discussed.
