BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Differentiation of skull base tumors, including
chondrosarcomas, chordomas, and metastases, on conventional imaging remains a …

We read with great interest the recent article entitled “Diffu-sion-Weighted MRI: Distinction of
Skull Base Chordoma from Chondrosarcoma” by Yeom et al. 1 The authors showed, with a …

Purpose To determine the diagnostic accuracy of DW MR imaging with apparent diffusion
coefficient (ADC) mapping for the distinction of skull base chordoma from skull base …

Background Chordoma and chondrosarcoma are locally invasive skull base tumors with
similar clinical symptoms and anatomic imaging features as reported in the literature …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Chordoma and chondrosarcoma of the skull base are rare
tumors with overlapping presentations and anatomic imaging features but different …

Purpose Pre-surgical diagnosis of skull base chondrosarcoma (SBC) is often challenging
due to the resemblance to chordoma. The goal of this study was to develop an optimal …

Simple Summary In this study, we created a novel MRI-based machine learning model to
differentiate skull base chordoma and chondrosarcoma with multiparametric signatures …

Purpose Patients with skull base chordoma and chondrosarcoma have different prognoses
and are not readily differentiated preoperatively on imaging. Multiparametric magnetic …

Chordomas and chondrosarcomas are malignant tumors that are reported to have similar
clinical presentations and radiological features but different behaviors and outcomes. The …

This image-rich chapter discusses the role that imaging plays in diagnosing primary
chordoma and chondrosarcoma of the skull base. It describes the optimal cross-sectional …
