Diagnosis and follow-up of children with Wilms' tumor: correlative study of ultrasound and computed tomography. Report of eighteen cases

K Patel et al. Ann Radiol (Paris). 1991.

Abstract

A retrospective study of 18 children with Wilms' tumor was performed to compare the efficacy of ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) for the diagnosis, staging, and follow-up evaluation of these patients. US and CT were found to be complementary to one another in evaluation of Wilms' tumor. In one patient, CT was more accurate than US in determining the organ of origin of a very large tumor. US is superior to CT for the evaluation of thrombosis in IVC. It can define whether or not the thrombus is attached to the wall of the IVC. This finding has a major impact on the management of the patient.
