Intraaxiale Hirntumoren

Intra-axial brain tumors

Zusammenfassung

Die Neuroradiologie spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei der Diagnose von Hirntumoren. Die Computertomographie (CT) und insbesondere die Magnetresonanztomographie (MRT) erlauben die genaue anatomische Darstellung von intrazerebralen Raumforderungen. Die Durchführung von nativen und kontrastmittelgestützen Sequenzen erlaubt in einem großen Teil der Fälle die Charakterisierung der verschiedenen Läsionen. In diesem Review werden die bildgebenden Aspekte mittels CT und MRT der häufigsten primären intraaxialen Hirntumoren diskutiert.

Abstract

Neuroradiology plays a key role in the diagnosis of brain tumors. Computed tomography (CT) and specially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allow accurate anatomic depiction of intracerebral lesions. The implementation of native and contrast studies allows the characterization of the various lesions encountered in the majority of cases. In this review the imaging aspects on CT and MRI of the most common primary intra-axial brain tumors will be discussed.
