  • Title: [Comparative evaluation of echography and C.A.T. in diagnosing retinoblastoma].
    Author: Nucci P, Modorati G, Pierro L, Alfarano R, Brancato R.
    Journal: Minerva Pediatr; 1989 Mar; 41(3):129-31. PubMed ID: 2664443.
    Abstract:
    The comparative efficiency of sonography and computerised axial tomography on the diagnosis of retinoblastoma was assessed in 8 consecutive cases. Ocular echography revealed a 100% sensitivity whereas CT scans gave false negatives in 2 out of the 8 cases (80% sensitivity). The value of ultrasound scanning as the diagnostic test of first choice for suspected retinoblastoma is therefore emphasised.
