Abstract:
MR appearance of brain metastases from 33 cases of lung carcinoma was reported. The lesions were mainly localized in the cerebrum associated with edema in varying degrees. Squamous cell carcinoma had a tendency to cystic degeneration and adenocarcinoma to bleeding. The low signal rings around the bleeding locus were irregular in T2WI imaging. Enhanced MR could find the lesions that noncontrast-enhanced MR could not. From the above, it was concluded that MRI had an important value in the imaging diagnosis of brain metastases from lung carcinoma.
