<scp>MRI</scp> features of pediatric atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors and medulloblastomas of the posterior fossa

Abstract

MRI findings of a lower ADC value, more peritumoral invasion, and absence of the "tumor central vein sign" may be helpful to differentiate AT/RT from medulloblastoma. These distinct MRI findings together with the younger age of AT/RT patients may explain the worse outcomes in AT/RT patients.
