Abstract

Neuroimaging has been an important tool in the diagnosis of brain tumors and the assessment of their response to therapy for more than 20 years. Pre- and post-contrast magnetic resonance (MR) imaging remains the most important tool in the assessment of CNS neoplasms. Recently, however, technical advances have allowed the development of new techniques that enable the noninvasive evaluation of physiologic aspects of brain tumors and the surrounding brain. In this chapter, the new techniques and their applications to the assessment of brain tumors are discussed.
