title: [MR tomography of thoracic and abdominal tumors in childhood and adolescence].
abstract: MRI was performed on 25 infants, children and adolescents with thoracic and abdominal tumours. The specific contribution of MRI to diagnosis, treatment planning and therapy monitoring is demonstrated. In some cases the T1 and T2 relaxation times were determined; this may clarify the different signal intensities of tumour and neighbouring organs and contribute to differentiation between Wilm's tumour and neuroblastoma.
