Summary
Patients with a brain-stem tumor were studied with NMR. The full extent of the lesion as well as its relationship with the adjacent structures was clearly demonstrated in all cases. Although NMR is, in many aspects, superior to CT and angiography, these examinations remain useful complementary methods.
