  5. NEURORADIOLOGY FOR PATHOLOGISTS Question: Who cares?

  6. Answer: You will when your favorite neurosurgeon hands you a piece of tissue the size of a grain of salt and tells you he needs you to tell him if he can go ahead and stick Gliadel chemotherapeutic wafers in the patient’s brain NEURORADIOLOGY FOR PATHOLOGISTS Question: Who cares?

Neuroradiology = Gross pathology

  8. NEURORADIOLOGY FOR PATHOLOGISTS Neuroradiology for • Two main imaging techniques • Computerized tomography (CT) • 3D X-rays • White areas = areas that absorb or “attenuate” the passage of x-ray beam (acute hematoma, bone, calcium = hyperdense/ attenuating) • Black areas = areas that do not absorb or “attenuate” the passage of x-ray beam (fat, air, CSF, edema = hypodense/ attenuating)

  9. Neuroradiology for

  10. NEURORADIOLOGY FOR PATHOLOGISTS • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) • Not ionizing radiation but magnetic field to excite protons which emit “signal” upon relaxation • Image appearance dependent upon time interval between each excitation and time interval between each collection • Two basic “weights” of images based upon TE and TR • T1: Short TE and TR • T1 is the one…that looks like a brain • T2 :Long TE and TR

  26. NEURORADIOLOGY FOR PATHOLOGISTS • Contrast enhancement • Breached blood-brain barrier • Seen with neoplasms but can be seen with other conditions (e.g. infectious, demyelinating, …) • Pattern of enhancement often helpful • Homogeneous versus non-homogeneous • Lymphoma, hemangiopericytoma, meningioma • GBM, mets, abscesses • Patchy versus circumferential ( i.e. ring enhancement)
