Magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of low attenuation lesions on computed tomography.
Computed tomography has proven invaluable in the assessment of intracranial mass lesions. Low attenuation lesions can, however, present diagnostic difficulties. We report three cases where magnetic resonance imaging was beneficial in clarifying solid versus cystic intracranial lesions.
