Skull-base imaging has been a key factor in the advancement of skull-base surgery. The analysis of MR imaging or CT of the skull base emphasizes important landmarks, which are key to surgical planning. Although the definitive diagnosis usually is done by biopsy, the radiologist can limit the list of possibilities of the identity of a skull base lesion. The apparent site of origin is a key factor. Separation of cystic abnormalities from more solid enhancing abnormalities also is critical.
颅底成像一直是颅底手术进展的关键因素。对颅底的磁共振成像（MR）或计算机断层扫描（CT）分析着重于重要的解剖标志，这些标志是手术规划的关键。虽然最终诊断通常通过活检完成，但放射科医生可以缩小颅底病变可能的病因范围。病变的明显起源部位是一个关键因素。将囊性异常与更实性的强化异常区分开来也至关重要。
