Abstract:
Objective To study the characteristic differences using CTs and MRIs between intracranial hemangiopericytomas (HPCs)and meningiomas of different pathological type.Methods 8 cases of HPC and 5 1 cases of meningioma approved by patholo-gy were selected.All cases underwent MRIs,CTs and enhancements before operation.The imaging characteristics of these tumors were analyzed with chi-square test.Results Compared with atypical meningioma,tumor bleeding(χ2 = 1 1.484),blood vessel flow void phenomenon(χ2 =8.571),skull damage(χ2 =5.529)showed remarkably significant statistical differences(P <0.05);compared with malignant meningioma,tumor bleeding(χ2 =1 1.484),blood vessel flow void phenomenon(χ2 = 1 1.429)showed remarkably significant statistical differences(P <0.05).Conclusion There are differences between HPC and meningiomas of different pathologi-cal type.It is helpful to improve the diagnosis level through comparative analysis of the MRI and CT findings.
