Abstract

We compared magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CT on 16 children with brainstem gliomas. MRI demonstrated masses of decreased signal intensity, which enlarged and distorted brainstems in all patients with active disease and showed brainstem abnormalities in 21 of 23 studies (91%). In one-half of the patients, MRI showed more extensive disease than did CT. Exophytic portions of tumors were shown well on MRI. MRI was more sensitive than CT in demonstrating disease relapse.

摘要

我们对16例脑干胶质瘤患儿进行了磁共振成像（MRI）和CT检查对比。MRI显示肿块信号强度降低，在所有处于疾病活动期的患者中，肿块均使脑干增大并变形，在23次检查中有21次（91%）显示脑干异常。在一半的患者中，MRI显示的病变范围比CT更广。肿瘤的外生性部分在MRI上显示良好。在显示疾病复发方面，MRI比CT更敏感。
