Overview
MRI is an imaging method using signal detection from spinning protons exposed to a magnetic field and offers superior soft tissue contrast to and better evaluation of tumor size, spread, and neurovascular involvement than CT.It also has a valuable role in follow-up for the evaluation for tumor recurrence.[1]
MRI
- On T1-weighted images of MRI, Leiomyosarcomas commonly manifest as large infiltrating mass of heterogeneous hypo intensity with irregular and ill-defined margins.
- On T2-weighted images,they usually show intermediate-to-high signal intensity, with central hyper intensity indicative of extensive necrosis.Hemorrhage is common and foci of calcification may be present.[2]
