INTRACRANIAL TUMOUR

Q.All are true regarding intracranial tumour except
a. Fat-containing neoplasms are  teratoma and dermoid
b. chemical shift artifact is big hurdle in detecting  presence of fat in tumour
c. Fat-selective suppression methods –useless in the distinction of etiologies of hyperintense tumors on T1W
d. Melanin in tumors is seen as high intensity on T1W and intermediate intensity on T2W
e. fat is hyperintense on T1W and intermediate intensity on conventional T2W
ANS.---c

Chemical shift artifact provides clue to the presence of fat in tumour. This artifact is displayed as a region of signal void at fat–water interfaces and hyperintensity at water–fat interfaces along the frequency-encoding axis . Fat-selective suppression methods  can play a role in the distinction of etiologies of hyperintense tumors on T1-weighted images.
