Abstract
Pediatric osseous and soft tissue tumors require imaging at each step: at diagnosis to approach the nature of the tumor and evaluate local and general extension, during treatment to follow-up the response, and after the end of treatment to search for recurrence. Imaging techniques must be adequately chosen according to each different type of tumor.
