Overview
MRI
The initial diagnosis of a tumor is made with a radiographic study (MRI)[1]. MRI of the spine is usually performed. The AT/RT tumor often spreads to the spine. It is difficult to diagnosis AT/RT only from radiographic study; usually a pathologist must perform a cytological or genetic analysis.
