Overview

MRI

MRI, as is the case with other soft tissue tumours, is more sensitive to local tumour extension. Their appearance is accounted for by their dense cellularity. Typical signal characteristics include:

MRI Component Features
T1​
  • low signal intensity
T1 C+ (Gd)
  • may show homogeneous, inhomogeneous, or no significant enhancement
T2
  • low signal intensity
