DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2020.01063
Abstract: Background: Several previous reports of anaplastic ependymomas have described their imaging features, and most of these studies were case reports. However, no studies have compared the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features between the infratentorial and… read more here.
