Abstract

The paper provides the results of magnetic resonance examination given to patients with medulloblastomas and sows that the method can be used in identifying the site of a focus, its size, and tumor relationship with adjacent tissues and brain stem. The paper also outlines specific features of the tumor structure and given magnetic resonance criteria for its differential diagnostics.
