Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become one of the most valuable modalities for initial and follow-up imaging of suspected or known neuroblastoma (NBL) owing to its excellent inherent contrast, lack of ionizing radiation and multiplanar imaging capability. Importantly, NBL has a variable appearance on different imaging modalities, and this is particularly pertinent to MRI. MRI is a cornerstone for management of NBL, providing essential information at initial presentation regarding diagnosis, staging, resectability and relation to vital structures. It can also define the extent of residual disease after surgical resection or assess the efficacy of treatment. Follow-up MRI is frequently performed to ensure sustained complete remission or to monitor known residual disease. This pictorial review article aims to provide the reader with a concise, yet comprehensive, collection of MR images of primary and metastatic NBL lesions with relevant correlation with other imaging modalities.
磁共振成像(MRI)由于其出色的固有对比度、无电离辐射和多平面成像能力,已成为疑似或已知神经母细胞瘤(NBL)初始和随访成像的最有价值的方式之一。重要的是,NBL 在不同的成像方式上表现出不同的特征,这在 MRI 上尤为明显。MRI 是 NBL 治疗的基石,在初始表现时提供有关诊断、分期、可切除性和与重要结构关系的重要信息。它还可以确定手术切除后残留疾病的范围或评估治疗效果。经常进行随访 MRI 以确保持续完全缓解或监测已知的残留疾病。本文旨在为读者提供简明但全面的原发性和转移性 NBL 病变的 MR 图像集,并与其他成像方式进行相关关联。
