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.[1]

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:[1]

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
