ROLE OF MRI IN COMMON POSTERIOR FOSSA TUMORS
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
MR imaging plays an increasingly important role in evaluation of patients suspected of harbouring disease in the posterior fossa because of its superior virtually artefact free display of anatomy and pathology in this region. The combination of clinical presentation and MR imaging results permit prediction of the histology of a posterior fossa tumor. In this article, we review the most common posterior fossa tumours and also advanced imaging methods, such as MR spectroscopy, perfusion MRI, and tractography, which helps to develop a more accurate diagnosis and aid in planning tumor treatment.
