  • Title: Contributions of magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of optic gliomas.
    Author: Patronas NJ, Dwyer AJ, Papathanasiou M, Schiebler ML, Schellinger D.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1987 Nov; 28(5):367-71. PubMed ID: 3660206.
    Abstract:
    Eleven patients with gliomas in the optic chiasm were studied using a 0.5 Tesla superconducting system and third generation computed tomography scanners. All tumors were identified with both modalities, but in the majority of cases, the posterior extension of the tumor and its relationship to adjacent brain, important to both prognosis and management, were shown better by magnetic resonance imaging.
