Abstract
Intracranial tumors are a significant health problem. The annual incidence of primary and secondary central nervous system neoplasms ranges from 10 to 17 per 100,000 persons. The American Cancer Society and the Primary Brain Tumors in the United States Statistical Report projected that in 2005 in the United States, an estimated 12,760 deaths from intracranial tumors had occured, and that an estimated 43,800 new cases of primary non malignant and malignant central nervous system tumors were diagnosed, respectively. In the current study the aim was to assess the diagnostic value of CE FLAIR in depiction and characterization of intracranial tumors. This study was conducted on 22 patients with clinical or neurological suspicion of brain tumor, referred to the Imaging Department of Alexandria Main University Hospital.
