A comprehensive evaluation of imaging features in pediatric spinal gliomas and their value in predicting tumor grade and histology

Purpose Pediatric spinal cord gliomas (PSGs) are rare in children and few reports detail their imaging features. We tested the association of tumoral grade with imaging features and proposed a novel approach to categorize post-contrast enhancement patterns in PSGs. Methods This single-center, retros...
