Gray-scale ultrasound and computed tomography were found to be diagnostically and clinically valuable in the study of 13 of 17 children with neuroblastoma. Use of ultrasound and computed tomography: (a) resulted in diagnoses not possible with conventional techniques, such as plain radiographs and excretory urograms; (b) defined more clearly the normal and pathologic anatomy in a three-dimensional perspective; (c) was an aid in evaluating extra-abdominal manifestations; and (d) permitted follow-up after surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.
在17例神经母细胞瘤患儿的研究中，发现灰阶超声和计算机断层扫描在诊断和临床方面具有重要价值。超声和计算机断层扫描的应用：(a) 能够做出传统技术（如平片和排泄性尿路造影）无法做出的诊断；(b) 从三维角度更清晰地界定正常和病理解剖结构；(c) 有助于评估腹部外表现；(d) 允许在手术、放疗和化疗后进行随访。
