Dr. Paul Velt answered

Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

Maybe: L'hermitte-Duclos disease is a very condition that is not cancerous by itself. Since the majority involve the cerebellum, that is not a strong point for CT imaging because of the bones. They get in the way. Under certain conditions it may be visible. MRI is now a days the way to go.
