Axial T1W MR image with central low attenuation and peripheral
high attenuation. This target pattern is secondary to central
fibrocollagenous and peripheral myxoid tissue. MR cannot distinguish
neurofibroma from schwannoma. T1W MR images of benign nerve
sheath tumors generally reveal intermediate signal intensity
masses. |
