Pineal region tumors: prognostic stratification based on magnetic resonance imaging features-a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pineal region tumors encompass a wide range of pathologies, presenting challenges in pre-surgical characterization and exhibiting variable prognostic outcomes across different tumor types. This study aims to identify key imaging features from pre-treatment magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of pineal region tumors to aid in prognostic analysis.

Methods

We retrospectively enrolled 33 patients with pineal region tumors who underwent pre-treatment imaging at the Seventh Medical Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital between January 2010 and June 2023. Two radiologists assessed imaging features including lesion morphology, border delineation, intensity, enhancement pattern, maximum tumor diameter, and secondary changes such as intratumoral hemorrhage and cystic chan
