Presentation Transcript

  1. Brain Neoplasm

  2. Brain Neoplasm • Benign • May have aggressive tendencies • May transition to more aggressive lesion • Tends to be slower growing • Primary malignant • Age distribution for various tumors • Impact due to mass effect or invasion • Metastatic • History of pre-existing neoplasm • May be primary presentation • Brain MRI modality of choice

  3. Astrocytoma • Irregular low attenuation lesion (CT) • Isodense to gray matter central area • Relatively ‘low grade’ • Surrounding edema (black)

  4. Astrocytoma • MRI • Parietal lesion • White representing surrounding edema on T2 images • Contrast enhancement on T1+C T2 T2 T1+C T1

  5. Meningioma • Medial posterior mass adjacent to the meninges • Slow growing • Minimal mass effect • Intense enhancement T2 T1 T1+C T1+C

  6. Meningioma • Extra-axial lesion • Impact based on mass effect • May be quite large without symptoms

  7. Cystic Astrocytoma • Cystic mass in posterior fossa • Rim and mural nodule enhancement on contrast – far right image at arrows

  8. Metastatic Brain Tumor • Multiple ring enhancing lesions • Brain edema (white rim T2) • Known lung cancer T2 PD T1 T1+C

  9. Lung Neoplasm • Nodule upper right lung field • Patient with brain metastases
