Detection of glomus tumor of the finger by dedicated MRI at 0.1 T.
Three glomus tumors of the fingers were detected using a dedicated hand and wrist low field (0.1 T) MR imager equipped with solenoidal coils allowing a FOV of 2 cm. Three-dimensional T1-, T*2-, or T2-weighted images were used (8 contiguous slices of 2 mm thickness). Glomus tumors had low or intermediate signal intensity (2 cases) or no signal (1 case) on T1-weighted images. On T*2- or T2-weighted images they had high signal intensity. MRI findings correlate well with surgery and biopsy.
