Overview

Additional imaging studies that can be useful in acute lymphoblastic leukemia include echocardiogram and ultrasound. Echocardiogram is useful for assessing cardiac function in patients receiving anthracycline chemotherapy. Ultrasound is useful for assessing for deep vein thrombosis which is a common complication of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Ultrasound can also assess for spleen size.
