Magnetic resonance imaging of midline pediatric cerebral neoplasms.
Over 80 cases of pediatric cerebral disease including 60 brain tumors, have been studied by low field 0.12 Tesla resistive NMR proton imaging. In addition, experience has been gained with proton imaging on a superconducting high field 1.5 Tesla system. Comparison of NMR images at both field strength, and comparison of the images to those obtained with high resolution CT is made. Examples of how NMR images can help to plan patient management is presented.
