A retrospective study of 18 children with Wilms' tumor was performed to compare the efficacy of ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) for the diagnosis, staging, and follow-up evaluation of these patients. US and CT were found to be complementary to one another in evaluation of Wilms' tumor. In one patient, CT was more accurate than US in determining the organ of origin of a very large tumor. US is superior to CT for the evaluation of thrombosis in IVC. It can define whether or not the thrombus is attached to the wall of the IVC. This finding has a major impact on the management of the patient.
对18例肾母细胞瘤患儿进行了一项回顾性研究，以比较超声（US）和计算机断层扫描（CT）在这些患者的诊断、分期及随访评估中的效果。结果发现，在肾母细胞瘤评估中，US和CT互为补充。在1例患者中，CT在确定一个非常大的肿瘤的起源器官方面比US更准确。在评估下腔静脉血栓形成方面，US优于CT。它可以确定血栓是否附着在下腔静脉壁上。这一发现对患者的治疗有重大影响。
