Computed tomography of abdominal mass lesions in children. Initial experience

Abstract

Use of a Delta scanner has resulted in delineation of neoplastic, obstructive and inflammatory renal diseases, hepatic tumors, and other abdominopelvic mass lesions. Of 47 patients examined, 32 had proved mass lesions. Computed tomography provided unique information about the complete delineation and nature of lesions and detected unrecognized lesions. Technical problems and solutions are discussed.
