Overview

Chest and abdominal MRI scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of ganglioneuroma. On MRI scan, ganglioneuroma is characterized by a well circumscribed and encapsulatated mass with low signal intensity on T1-weighted images and intermediate to high signal intensity on T2-weighted images.

MRI

Chest and abdominal MRI scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of ganglioneuroma. Findings on MRI scan suggestive of ganglioneuroma include a well circumscribed and encapsulated mass characterized by:

MRI Component	Features
T1​	Homogeneously low or intermediate signal
T1 C+ (Gd)	Variable enhancement (none to heterogeneous)
T2	Heterogeneously intermediate or high signal
ADC	ADC values tend to be higher with respect to neuroblastoma
