Enhancement of cervical intraspinal tumors in MR imaging with intravenous gadolinium-DTPA.
Intravenous Gd-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-DTPA) was administered to 10 successive patients with cervical intraspinal tumors. Contrast enhancement was seen in each case. Gadolinium-DTPA was useful in outlining the tumoral masses, as well as in distinguishing intramedullary from extramedullary neoplasms.
