DWI -Diffusion Weighted Imaging
Introduction: Meningiomas are dural based tumors, which arise from
meningothelial cells or arachnoid cap. Meningiomas account for
approximately 1/3 of primary intracranial tumors in adults. Despite
their higher incidence, there have not been as many advances in
understanding and managing meningiomas.
