All patients underwent T1WI, T2WI, three-dimensional short recovery time reversal recovery fast spin-echo imaging (3D-STIR-SPACE), and the T1WI enhancement sequence. In addition, cVRT was used to render and obtain a three-dimensional model that clearly showed the location and tissue structure of the brachial plexus nerves and the tumor in all directions.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Seventy-one patients (mean age, 47.1\u00a0years; 33 males, 38 females) with tumors around the brachial plexus were included in the study. The brachial plexus nerve, surrounding tumor lesions, and vascular anatomy of all patients were well displayed with cVRT. The tumors of 37 patients manifested as unilateral or bilateral growths along the brachial plexus nerve and were fusiform, spherical, or multiple beaded; seven patients' tumors pushed against the brachial plexus nerve and were circular, lobular, or irregular; sixteen patients' tumors encircled the brachial plexus nerve and were spherical; and eleven patients' tumors infiltrated the brachial plexus nerve and had irregular morphology. The mass has a moderately uniform or uneven signal on T1WI and a high or mixed signal on T2WI. After enhancement, the signal was evenly or unevenly strengthened.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>cVRT clearly showed the origin of tumors associated with the brachial plexus and their relationship with the nerves and peripheral blood vessels, providing reliable information for clinical diagnosis and treatment.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s40001-023-01416-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,6]],"date-time":"2023-12-06T02:01:37Z","timestamp":1701828097000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The value of the cinematic volume rendering technique: magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosing tumors associated with the brachial plexus"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Rui","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuncai","family":"Ran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yanglei","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haowen","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Junxia","family":"Niu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jingliang","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,6]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"1416_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"W67","DOI":"10.2214\/AJR.12.9554","volume":"202","author":"BD Tharin","year":"2014","unstructured":"Tharin BD, Kini JA, York GE, Ritter JL.
