Objective:
To study the CT and MRI imaging manifestations of central and intraventricular central neurocytoma in the ventricle.
Methods:
In this paper, 39 patients with central nervous cell tumour treated in our hospital from August 2015 to June 2018 were selected. All patients were performed plain CT scans using GE Highspeed CT; GE signa Twin speed 1.5 T superconducting magnet Resonance scanners were used to perform MRI plain scans on all patients. Observe the specific location, size, and morphology of tumours in the supra- and sub-ventricular ventricles of 39 central nervous cell tumour patients, and compare the performance of CT examination with the performance of MRI examination.
Results:
Of the 39 patients with central neurocytoma, 13 were in the right lateral ventricle, 9 were in the left lateral ventricle, 11 patients had tumours in both lateral ventricles, and 6 patients had bilateral ventricles and bilateral ventricles. There were tumours in the third ventricle; 39 patients had an average tumour size of 52 mm; 36 patients had irregular lobes, and 3 patients had blurred tumour boundaries; some tumours had different degrees of calcification.
Conclusions:
The location and characteristics of the imaging manifestations of central nervous cell tumours are typical. Both CT scans and MRI scans can effectively detect central neuroblastomas, and MRI imaging examinations can effectively improve the diagnosis accuracy of tumour is better than that of CT.
