FIG 3. The classic CT and MR imaging appearance of an astroblastoma in a 42-year-old female patient (patient 2).

A, Axial non-contrast-enhanced CT scan shows punctate calcifications (arrowheads) within the solid portion of the large left temporal lobe mass (arrow).

B, Axial non-contrast-enhanced T1-weighted image (500/8/1) shows the solid portion of the tumor (arrow) to be relatively hypointense to gray matter.

C, Axial T2-weighted image (2640/98/1) shows the solid portion of the tumor (arrow) as isointense to gray matter. This tumor was well differentiated.
