Abstract:
The skulls of 46 patients were examined by means of ordinary scans and after contrast. 24 of these patients with cerebral abnormalities had scans, using identical planes, with and without contrast and with CPMG sequences. Contrast in intracranial, but extracerebral (extra-axial), tumours (meningiomas, neurinomas) was much better after using contrast, but intracerebral (intra-axial) tumours were mostly shown as well on T2-rated CPMG sequences. Image synthesis has shown that contrast uptake occurred only in solid tumour regions.
