[NMR-tomography of cerebral midline tumors and cervical cord processes in children]. / NMR-Tomographie von zerebralen Mittellinientumoren und Halsmarkprozessen im Kindesalter.

Tumours of the brain, mesencephalon and cervical spinal cord in 10 children were examined by MRI. The most useful anatomical information was supplied by the sagittal midplane tomogram. Due to the prolongation of T2-times in brain tumours T2-weighted images were appropriate for detecting pathological structures even without space-occupying signs. Questions of operability and therapeutic effectiveness were reliably answered.
