Body computed tomography in the evaluation of pediatric malignancy.
Fifty-eight body CT scans were obtained in 33 children with malignant disease over a 2-year period at the Medical College of Virginia Hospitals. When compared with conventional radiography, excretory urography, nuclear medicine, and ultrasound, CT provided additional information in 26 patients (78%). In 17 patients CT was useful for monitoring response to surgery, radiation therapy, and/or chemotherapy.
