MR imaging of brainstem hemorrhage.
To determine the chronologic changes in the MR appearance of brainstem hemorrhage and to evaluate the clinical efficacy of MR imaging, 15 patients were examined with a 0.5-T MR scanner with inversion-recovery (IR) and T2-weighted spin-echo (SE) images. In the acute stage (up to the sixth day), hematomas were hypo- or isointense on IR images and isointense and then hypointense on SE images. In t...
متن کاملMR imaging of brainstem tumors.
Eighteen patients aged 4-72 years old with brainstem tumors were studied using a 0.5 T magnetic resonance (MR) imager and a third- or fourth-generation computed tomographic (CT) scanner. MR imaging showed the brainstem to be enlarged on sagittal views in all cases; exophytic growth was seen in eight. Alterations of signal intensities were shown in most cases on spin-echo sequences using 30 and ...
متن کاملLow-grade glioma: correlation of short echo time 1H-MR spectroscopy with 23Na MR imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is considerable variability in the clinical behavior and treatment response of low-grade (WHO grade II) gliomas. The purpose of this work was to characterize the metabolic profile of low-grade gliomas by using short echo time (1)H-MR spectroscopy and to correlate metabolite levels with MR imaging-measured sodium ((23)Na) signal intensity. Based on previous studies, ...
متن کاملMR imaging of diffuse glioma.
Neuroradiologic diagnosis of "gliomatosis cerebri" is hampered by the diffuse, isodense character of the lesion, and the fact that it may not enhance when intravenous contrast medium is administered. Clinical signs and symptoms are usually nonspecific, nonfocal, and disproportionately mild. We report a case of diffuse glioma in a 30-year-old man, discuss the difficulty in arriving at a precise ...
متن کاملCerebral aspergillosis: MR imaging and histopathologic correlation.
The authors report a case of intracranial aspergillosis secondary to immunosuppression. Signal intensity changes in the lesion on brain MR are compared with gross and histopathologic findings at autopsy. A peripheral ring of low signal intensity relates to a dense population of Aspergillus hyphal elements and small areas of hemorrhage. CT findings are included for comparison.
