Modern Brain Tumor Imaging

The imaging and clinical management of patients with brain tumor continue to evolve over time and now heavily rely on physiologic imaging in addition to high-resolution structural imaging. Imaging remains a powerful noninvasive tool to positively impact the management of patients with brain tumor. This article provides an overview of the current state-of-the art clinical brain tumor imaging. In...

Imaging Techniques in Brain Tumor

Recent years, the emerging new imaging techniques not only show the detailed and complete aspects of brain neoplasm, but also promote clinical doctors using new techniques, such as CT three-dimensional reconstruction, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to research the mechanism of those diseases in the aim of better treatment....

Update on brain tumor imaging.

Brain tumor imaging has evolved from a strictly morphology-based discipline to one that encompasses function, physiology, and anatomy, enabled by advances in imaging and computer technology. This review outlines the current imaging standard for patients with brain tumors and summarizes the latest advances in physiology-based imaging methods that complement traditional brain tumor imaging protoc...

Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging in Brain Tumor

Primary neoplasms of the central nervous system (CNS) have a prevalence of between 15,000 and 17,000 new cases annually in the United States and are estimated to cause the deaths of 13,000 patients. Gliomas are the leading cause of primary CNS tumors, accounting for 40–50% of cases and 2–3% of all cancers4. Despite new treatment techniques, patients’ survival still remains very low, varying bet...
