Overview

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): An MRI uses magnetic fields but it is a different type of image than what is produced by computed tomography (CT) and produces detailed images of the body. Like computed tomography (CT), a contrast agent may be injected into a patient’s vein to create a better picture. It is a very valuable test for meningioma.

MRI

Meningiomas are readily visualized on MRI with gadolinium attributed to the fact that meningiomas are extra axial and vascularized.
