Discussion The differential diagnosis of a spinal cord tumor primarily depends on the tumor's
origin at one of three classical spaces. Intramedullary tumors originate in and enlarge the …

Thirty-one consecutive intradural extramedullary spinal tumors examined with MR at 0.3 T
were reviewed. In 13 of the patients myelography had been performed. There were 11 …

[en] With the advent of surface coils and improved imaging techniques, the superiority of MRI
over myelography and postmyelography computed tomography (CT) in the assessment of …

Ninety-one patients with extradural spinal tumours were examined by magnetic resonance
imaging. There were 76 metastases (6 from unknown primary tumours). Seven patients had …

As a noninvasive method of investigation, ie, without intrathecal enhancement, computed
tomography (CT) has proved disappointing in spinal tumors. Exceptions are advanced …

MR imaging is the modality of choice for intradural spinal tumors because of its unsurpassed
depiction of soft tissues, the use of intravenous contrast, the absence of beam-hardening …

Magnetic resonance (MR) images of 29 consecutive patients with intraspinal neoplasms (9
intramedullary tumors, 20 extramedullary tumors) were reviewed to evaluated the utility of …

Fifty patients with intramedullary space occupying lesions were studied with MR from
October 1983. Of these 32 were operated on and histological diagnosis together with gross …

Spinal tumors encompass a wide range of benign and malignant masses. Although most
spinal tumors originate from the osseous components of the vertebral segments, intraspinal …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which has recently begun to replace myelography,
postmyelography computed tomography (CT), and to some extent, bone scans, has become …
