Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a known non-invasive MRI based imaging technique used to assess the viscoelasticity of the tissues particularly liver fibrosis. This study discussed the importance of preoperative MRE in skull base tumors and the future implications of this new imaging modality. We did review of the English literature (by searching PubMed) regarding the use of MRE in preoperative assessment of skull base tumours stiffness and adherence to surrounding tissues. Recent research demonstrated that MRE can detect the stiffness and adherence of skull base tumors to surrounding structures by recording the spread of mechanical waves in the different tissues. In addition to non-radiation exposure, this technique is fast and can be incorporated into the conventional (MRI) study. MRE can palpate skull base tumours by imaging, allowing the stiffness of the tumour to be assessed. Preoperative assessment of brain tumours consistency, stiffness, and adherence to surrounding tissues is critical to avoid injury of important nearby structures and better preoperative patient counselling regarding surgical approach (endoscopic or open), operative time, and suspected surgical complications. However, the accuracy of MRE is less in small and highly vascular tumors. Also, MRE can't accurately detect tumour-brain adherence, but the new modality (slip-interface imaging) can. Hence, adding MRE to the conventional MRI study may help in preoperative diagnosis and treatment of skull base tumours.</p>","PeriodicalId":13385,"journal":{"name":"Indogermanische Forschungen","volume":"34 1","pages":"4173-4178"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10645913/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89079045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
