MRI
Brain MRI scan is helpful in the diagnosis of ganglioglioma. On MRI brain, it is characterized by:[1]
T1
- Solid component iso- to hypointense
T1 C+ (Gd)
- Solid component variable contrast enhancement
T2
- Hyperintense solid component
- Variable signal in the cystic component(depending on amount of proteinaceous material or presence of blood products)
- Peritumoral FLAIR/T2 edema is rare
T2* (GE/SWI)
- Calcified areas shows blooming signal loss
