At CT,areas of hypo or isoattenuation were noted and no contrast enhancement occurred.Extent of tumor was greater on MR images than on concurrent CT scans in all patients.The MR findings closely correlated with the autopsy findings.Gliomatosis cerebri is best detected with MR imaging.The pattern is infiltrative with enlargement of cerebral structures.
