Overview
MRI
- MRI has been considered the most useful modality in staging of neuroblastoma in recent years.
- MRI is superior to CT scan when determining marrow infiltration and intra spinal tumor extension.
- The advantages of MRI include lack of ionizing radiation and no necessity of using oral contrast.
- MRI findings observed among neuroblastoma patients include:[1]
- T1 weighted image demonstrates:
- Hypointense hetrogenous mass
- T1 weighted image with gadolinium contrast demonstrates:
- Heterogeneous variable enhancement
- T2 weighted image demonstrates:
Gallery
-
Neuroblastoma observed on coronal MRI of the abdomen as a well defined mass lesion located at the right suprarenal region[1]
-
Neuroblastoma observed on sagittal MRI as a large mass which extends into the spinal canal and causes significant cord compression[1]
-
Neuroblastoma observed on transverse MRI as a large mass which extends into the spinal canal and causes significant cord compression[1]
