    Abstract:
    Analyses of T2 values (spin-spin relaxation time constant) in magnetic resonance tomography were carried out in 29 patients with brain tumours. 21 of these had tumours of the glioma group (17 astrocytomas WHO I-III and oligoastrocytomas, 4 glioblastomas). Measurements were effected both pixel by pixel and according to relevant ROI (regions of interest). Although the measurements yielded a T2 value which was typical of the disease, it was individually difficult to effect proper grading on account of the scatter occurring from case to case. Markedly more relevant information was obtained by the introduction of profile measurements in T2 images. The relation between T2 profile and histology of the gliomas permits rough grading between more or less differentiated gliomas.
