  • 1

    Retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular malignancy in children, diagnosed primarily through fundoscopy and ultrasonography.

  • 2

    MRI is essential for assessing tumor extension after retinoblastoma diagnosis, providing critical information on intra- and extraocular spread.

  • 3

    Ultrasound is the first-line imaging modality for confirming intratumoral calcifications, especially when fundoscopy is limited.

  • 4

    CT is no longer recommended for retinoblastoma evaluation due to low sensitivity, specificity, and radiation exposure risks.

  • 5

    High-resolution MRI protocols should include specific imaging sequences to optimize detection of retinoblastoma and its complications.
