title: [NMR tomography with gadolinium-DTPA of the trunk in pediatric oncology].
abstract: The results of enhanced MR imaging for staging, follow-up and diagnosis of recurrence are presented in 24 children with thoracic, abdominal and pelvic masses. The use of gadolinium-DTPA usually leads to better definition of the tumour and of its relation to neighbouring organs, thereby making it easier to determine whether the tumour is resectable. The place of MR imaging in the diagnostic work-up of paediatric tumours is discussed.
