T2-Weighted MRI Signal Intensity Ratio Predicts Intraoperative Intracranial Meningioma Consistency: A Retrospective Cohort Study
In meningiomas, the TCTI ratio is associated with intraoperative tumor consistency, with higher signal intensity ratios predicting softer meningioma consistency. Application in this manner may augment surgical planning and improve preoperative patient counseling.
