Abstract

Radiologic procedures form one of the cornerstones of diagnosis in hematological malignancies. Various radiological procedures are essential for the diagnosis, assessment of the therapeutic response, to identify disease relapse, and to evaluate for complications pre- and post-transplantation. The significance of radiology and radiological procedures in stem cell transplantation is expected to grow. In this chapter, we discuss the radiologic procedures and review the key imaging modalities and implications related to pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). We will also discuss the role of radionuclide Imaging for patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with a brief review of use of radio-labeled MIBG imaging in children with Neuroblastoma.
