"Clinical presentation "
"T1: the mixed-signal intensity of gangliogliomas on T1 weighted images is due to the dual cellular elements of the tumour and is a unique finding among spinal cord tumours"
"T1 C+ (Gd): most demonstrate patchy enhancement, however up to 15% cases may demonstrate no enhancement 2"
"gradient echo: calcification is common, and will appear as areas of low signal with blooming"
