Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of brain tumors unrevealed by CT.
The important contributions of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in the diagnosis of brain tumours are demonstrated in this report. In 2 patients, one with a completely normal and the other with a slightly abnormal CT, prominent lesions were detected by NMR and histologically confirmed as astrocytomas.
