ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the role of CT and MRI in diagnosis of the pineal region germinoma.Methods 11 cases of the pineal region germinoma proved by operation and pathology. CT and MRI features were analysed retrospectively. Results In 11 cases on CT most tumors were hyperattenuation or isoattenuation. Enhancement in most of the tumors were homogeneous. The characteristic MRI appearances of the pineal region germinoma were as follows (1) On T 1WI, the lesions were isointense or slightly hypointense while isointense or slightly hyperintense on T 2WI. The pineal region germinoma showed no edema. (2) The lesions showed homogeneous or inhomogeneous Gd-DTPA enhancement in most of the tumors.Conclusion CT and MRI of multiplanar imaging and Gd-DTPA enhancement are helpful in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of pineal region germinoma. The tumors have sex, location and imaging characteristics.
