6 kwi 2023 · A brain tumor is a mass of abnormal cells in the brain that can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Read about the types and signs of brain tumors.
Brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells in the brain that can be benign or malignant and affect brain function.
The days of relying solely on contrast-enhancement for the work up of brain tumors have passed and it is essential that today’s neurologist be familiar with advanced imaging including perfusion, diffusion and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), spectroscopy, and susceptibility imaging.
Left: Arrows indicate a collection of blood between the skull and the outer covering of the brain (epidural hematoma) that's compressing the frontal lobe. Right: Contrast material injected into a vein during this CT scan of the head highlights tumors in both sides of the brain.
This article provides an overview of the current state of neuroimaging of brain tumors and discusses 3 types of physiology-based MR imaging methods, namely, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), proton MR spectroscopy (1 H-MR spectroscopy), and perfusion-weighted imaging.
