title: [Diagnostic potentials and limits of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in cerebral neoplastic pathology].
abstract: The current possibilities and limitations of NMR in the diagnosis of brain tumours are described with emphasis on the need to consider intrinsic tumoural variations, peritumoural oedema and the mass effect. It is concluded that MR should currently be considered complementary to the CAT scan.
