The prognosis for glioblastoma is poor despite optimal therapy with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. New therapies that improve survival and quality of life are needed. Research has increased our understanding…
Treatment of glioblastoma multiforme remains a major challenge despite advances in standard therapy, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The field of nanomedicine is expected to have a major impact on…
Radiation therapy remains a critical therapeutic modality in the treatment of adult brain tumors. However, its use continues to evolve depending on the histologic findings of the brain tumor. In…
Magnetic resonance image-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) has surfaced as a viable noninvasive image-guided therapeutic method that integrates focused ultrasound (FUS), the therapeutic component, with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the…
In the past decade, numerous advances in the understanding of brain tumor physiology, tumor imaging, and tumor therapy have been attained. In some cases, these advances have resulted from refinements…
The use of biomarkers of microvascular structure and function from perfusion and permeability imaging is now well established in neuro-oncological research. There remain significant challenges to be overcome before these…
The advanced imaging techniques outlined in this article are only slowly establishing their place in surgical practice. Even a low risk of false information is unacceptable in neurosurgery, thus decision-making…
Diffuse gliomas in adults continue to have a dismal prognosis with the current standard therapeutic methods, including maximal surgical resection, radiation, and chemotherapy. The pathogenesis of adult glioma is complex,…
To keep up with advances in central nervous system (CNS) tumor diagnosis and discovery of new entities, the classification of these tumors requires periodic review and revision. Since the initial…
This article summarizes current state-of-the-art techniques used in the management of pediatric neurologic emergencies. Solutions to challenges faced by the radiologist, including the selection of an appropriate modality for an…
