Abstract:
MR imaging is the modality of choice for intradural spinal tumors because of its unsurpassed depiction of soft tissues, the use of intravenous contrast, the absence of beam-hardening artifacts, and the ability to image in multiple planes. Intradural tumors are classified as intradural-extramedullary and intradural-intramedullary. MR imaging techniques that best depict these tumors are reviewed, and several examples of tumors are described and illustrated.
