Abstract
MRI with gadolinium enhancement is the imaging modality of choice in the diagnosis of meningiomas. Various MRI features are described. MRI signal intensity characteristics in meningiomas contain information that could be correlated with the histopathology of the tumor. Hyperintensity on T2-weighted images indicates soft tumor consistency and microhypervascularity and is more often seen in aggressive, angioblastic, or meningothelial meningiomas. MRI is useful in demonstrating dural sinus involvement. Meningiomas in unusual locations and their mimics are also presented.Entities:
