To investigate the potential value of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in evaluating the consistency of brain tumors.
Six patients with known solid brain tumor underwent brain MRE studies. Consistency of brain tumors was evaluated at surgery. Correspondence of MRE evaluation with operative result was studied.
The elasticity of tumors in six patients evaluated by MRE agreed with the tumor consistency given by the operative results.
MRE could be used as an imaging technique for noninvasive assessment of the consistency of brain tumor in vivo.
探讨磁共振弹性成像(MRE)在评估脑肿瘤质地一致性方面的潜在价值。
对6例已知患有实体脑肿瘤的患者进行脑部MRE检查。在手术中评估脑肿瘤的质地。研究MRE评估结果与手术结果的一致性。
通过MRE评估的6例患者肿瘤弹性与手术结果给出的肿瘤质地一致。
MRE可作为一种成像技术用于在体无创评估脑肿瘤的质地。
