[Magnetic resonance tomography in the diagnosis of cerebral space occupying lesions].
197 primary and secondary cerebral tumours as well as tumour-like lesions are described. T2 and T1-weighted images were obtained. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers advantages in localisation and tissue characterisation. Localisation is improved by the ability to obtain axial, coronal or sagittal images and by the absence of artifacts due to bone in lesions in the posterior fossa. A significant advantage is the excellent contrast resolution of soft tissue. On the basis of our experience, we present an overview of the most common brain tumours using MRI.
