Contemporary medical imaging plays a central role in the evaluation of childhood malignancies. Newly emerging imaging techniques have increased the range of choice among imaging modalities. During follow up of the oncology patients, it is necessary to select the most appropriate imaging technique with a minimum radiation exposure at the most suitable time.
