Ten patients with clinical tuberous sclerosis were examined with CT and MR imaging, before and after IV contrast in order to determine the role of Gd-DTPA. Gd-DTPA enhancement occurred in eleven subependymal nodules which did not enhance on CT after IV contrast. As illustrated by previous CT and pathologic observations and related to the histologic similarity of the subependymal nodules and giant-cell astrocytomas, these hyperintense nodules could represent active lesions with the potential to evolve. Four giant-cell astrocytomas were detected both with CT and Gd-DTPA-enhanced MRI; tumor conspicuity and size assessment were improved by postcontrast MRI in two cases. No cortical tuber or heterotopic cluster enhanced; T2-weighted sequences therefore remain necessary for their detection. If pre and post-Gd-DTPA T1- and T2-weighted imaging is negative, CT is clearly the most sensitive modality in the detection of the small calcified subependymal nodules.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
