A Preliminary Study on the Application of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasonography in Children With Peripheral Neuroblastic Tumors

The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze the characteristics of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) images and quantitative parameters of time-intensity curves (TICs) in children's peripheral neuroblastic tumors (pNTs). By comparing the imaging features and quantitative parameters of the TICs of neuroblastoma (NB) and ganglioneuroblastoma (GNB) patients, we attempted to identify the distinguishing points between NB and GNB. A total of 35 patients confirmed to have pNTs by pathologic examination were included in this study.
