Magnetic resonance elastography of brain tumors: preliminary results
1Imaging Center of Neuroscience, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital University of Medical Science, Beijng, China.
Purpose:
To investigate the potential value of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in evaluating the consistency of brain tumors.
Material And Methods:
Six patients with known solid brain tumor underwent brain MRE studies. Consistency of brain tumors was evaluated at surgery. Correspondence of MRE evaluation with operative result was studied.
Results:
The elasticity of tumors in six patients evaluated by MRE agreed with the tumor consistency given by the operative results.
Conclusion:
MRE could be used as an imaging technique for noninvasive assessment of the consistency of brain tumor in vivo.
