[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the clinical value of magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) in diagnosis of peripheral nerve sheath tumors.Materials and Methods: Twenty-seven patients with peripheral nerve sheath tumors proved by surgery and pathology underwent MRI conventional scanning and contrast-enhanced short TI reverse recovery time sequence (3D- STIR) scanning. The accuracy and feasibility of contrast-enhanced 3D-STIR scanning in peripheral nerve sheath tumors were retrospectively analyzed and evaluated. The diagnostic signs and the value of MRI conventional scanning and contrast-enhanced 3D-STIR scanning were compared.Results: In these cases, MRI conventional images can display the location, number, shape, size and signal characteristics of lesions, and contrast-enhanced 3D-STIR images can display the relevance between lesions and spinal nerves clearly.Conclusion: MRI conventional scanning and contrast-enhanced 3D-STIR scanning have important clinical value in diagnosing peripheral nerve sheath tumors.
