title: Imaging of a pediatric abdominal mass.
abstract: The approach to the child with an abdominal mass will be aided by careful consideration of the radiographic imaging modalities available at an institution. The relative advantages, disadvantages, costs, and radiation of each modality are presented. The recommended workup of a pediatric abdominal mass, as well as the most common masses and their differential diagnosis, are outlined.
