| Popis: | Because of issues with the previous staging system, the International Neuroblastoma Risk Group Staging System (INRG-SS) was created in 2009. The INRG-SS is based on preoperative imaging, rather than surgical, staging and emphasizes Imaging-Defined Risk Factors as the determining factors between L1 and L2 stages. Like with the introduction of any new tool, based on the authors' experience, there has been a time-lag related to adoption of the INRG-SS staging system by radiologists. This pictorial essay offers a practical approach to learning and utilizing the INRG system, emphasizing use of the descriptive terms which determine the presence or absence of imaging-defined risk factors. |
