Overview
On MRI of the brain, ganglioglioma is characterized by iso- to hypointense solid component on T1, variable contrast enhancement of solid component on T1 C+ (Gd), hyperintense solid component and variable signal in cystic component on T2, and calcification on T2 (GE/SWI).[1] On MRI scan of spinal cord, ganglioglioma is characterized by mixed signal intensity on T1-weighted images, high intensity on T2, patchy enhancement on T1 C+ (Gd), and calcification with low signal blooming on gradient echo.[2]
