In general, CT examinations still seem to be necessary for preoperative classification of brain masses. With increasing experience it should become clear whether sensitivity and specifity of MRI in the diagnosis of brain tumors can be further improved. Although much more work will be necessary in order to establish the optimal dose, timing, and pulse sequences when using Gd-DTPA, this study demonstrates that contrast changes due to Gd-DTPA can have clinical value.
一般来说，CT检查对于脑肿瘤的术前分级似乎仍然是必要的。随着经验的增加，MRI在脑肿瘤诊断中的敏感性和特异性是否能够进一步提高应该会变得清晰。尽管在确定使用钆喷酸葡胺（Gd-DTPA）时的最佳剂量、时间和脉冲序列方面还需要做更多工作，但这项研究表明，Gd-DTPA引起的对比变化可能具有临床价值。
