| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The degree of tumor stiffness or consisitency is critical information for precise neurosurgical resection of intracranial tumors. MR eastography(MRE) is an emarging technology enabling the noninvasive assessment of the viscoelastic properties of tissues in vitro.We evaluated the stiffness of 4 common intracranial tumors:meningiomas,pituitary adenomas,vestibular schwannoma and gliomas using MRE and tested whether MRE had the potential to discriminate firm tumors preoperatively.As the result, MRE could evaluate those intracranial tumors on the basis of their physical property of shear stiffness. MRE may be useful in the preoperative discrimination of firm tumors.
