Overview

On a T1 weighted brain MRI image, neurblastoma is characterized by a hyperintense, heterogeneous, and necrotic mass.[1]

MRI

  • MRI image characteristics 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:
  • Heterogeneous/hyperintense enhancement due necrosis and cyst formation
