*Soft tissue density
* The following CT scans are required in rhabdomyosarcoma:
*Some enhancement with contrast
** Primary site CT scan
*Adjacent bony destruction (over 20% of cases)

** Chest CT scan
===Rhabdomyosarcoma of biliary tract===

*CT may show a heterogenous or hypo-attenuating mass with [[Bile duct|biliary ductal dilatation]].
** Abdomen and retroperitoneal CT scan
 
** In paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma  
===Rhabdomyosarcoma of the orbit===
*Rhabdomyosarcomas are typically well-circumscribed, homogeneous [[soft tissue]] masses which are isodense to normal muscle.<ref>{{Cite web | title =Rhabdomyosarcoma imaging| url =http://eyewiki.org/Rhabdomyosarcoma#Anatomic_locations}}</ref>
*The mass may extend into the [[eyelid]] or through bone into the [[paranasal sinuses]] (especially the ethmoid sinus) and superiorly into the anterior cranial fossa.
 
===Cardiac rhabdomyosarcoma===
*CT may show a smooth or irregular low-attenuation mass in a cardiac chamber.

Overview

On CT scan, rhabdomyosarcoma is characterized by soft tissue density, enhancement with contrast, and adjacent bone destruction.
