title: [The usefulness of MRI of the central nervous system in certain diseases of blood and hemopoietic system with neurological symptoms].
abstract: The results are presented of MRI studies of the brain and spinal cord in patients with neurological symptoms in the course of certain diseases of the haemopoietic system (leukaemias, lymphomas). The analysis showed that MR images, although not specific, can be very useful for the evaluation of the intensity and topography of haematological lesions in the central nervous system. However, the diagnosis of these processes is not easy. In the differential diagnosis focal lesions of vasogenic origin, infections and radiation-induced lesions should be considered, and in cases of lymphoma--metastases are a possibility.
