Figure 2

MRI shows diffuse high-signal intensity on T1- (A, D, F; TR/TE = 487/9.5) and T2- (B, E, G; TR/TE = 3500/89) weighted images with capsulation of low-signal intensity on T1- and T2-weighted images (A, B; axial, D, E; sagittal, F, G; coronal). Edema of low-signal intensity on T1-weighted and high-signal intensity on T2-weighted images can be observed (A, B). The tumor has high-signal intensity on T2-STIR (H; coronal). Moderate enhancement by Gadolinium (0.2 ml/kg, Magnebist, Schering, Germany) is seen on T1-weighted image (C; axial). (Siemens Symphony 1.5T, FOV = 200 × 200 mm, matrix = 256 × 320).
