MRI of primary central nervous system lymphoma performance.doc

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 13 MRI of primary central nervous system lymphoma performance [Abstract] Objective To study central nervous system lymphoma (Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma, PCNSL the performance characteristics of MRI. Methods Retrospective analysis of 26 patients with preoperative MRI examination and confirmed by pathology of primary central nervous system lymphoma information, the main research PCNSL occurrence location, signal characteristics, enhancement pattern, edema, ependymal dissemination, and corpus callosum involvement. Results of 26 cases, 7 cases were single, 19 cases were multiple, including the basal ganglia, periventricular the corpus callosum in 16 cases, the hemisphere surrounding white matter in 7 cases, while with subependymal nodules in 13 cases, occurred only in the ventricle in 3 cases. involving the corpus callosum, the are the typical “Dieyi sign.” conventional plain fact partial performance of low signal T1WI, T2WI and other higher signal. enhance the performance of the solid part of the homogeneous enhancement is obvious in 24 cases, 2 cases showed moderately enhanced the edge of the ring. intraventricular subependymal lesions or disseminated nodules were no necrotic area was significantly enhanced homogeneous enhancement. peritumoral edema varies by area, basal ganglia, periventricular, corpus callosum lesions in more than mild to moderate edema, with mild-based; hemispheric edema around the lesions more obvious, showed moderate to severe. Conclusion Most PCNSL more characteristic manifestations, MRI examination can help to improve diagnostic accuracy. [Keywords:] Magnetic resonance imaging of primary CNS lymphoma [Abstract] Objective To evaluate the MRI features of Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL). Methods MRI findings of 26 cases with pathologically-proved PCNSL were analyzed retrospectively and the study emphasized on the location, signal feature, contrast-enhanced type, perilesional edema, ep
