Intracranial Tumors

  • Chapter
MRI of the Central Nervous System

Abstract

The accuracy of radiological diagnosis of brain tumors has improved remarkably with the introduction of MRI. The resolution of MRI had been considered poorer than that of CT; but with the introduction of the superconductive MRI and the development of gadolinium diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-DTPA), the quality of MRI as well as its accuracy in diagnosis have far surpassed those of CT. This has now often rendered the use of CT unnecessary.
