Perfusion Imaging in Neuro-Oncology
Perfusion imaging is a method for assessing the flow of blood occurring at the tissue level and can be accomplished by both CT and MR perfusion techniques. The use of…
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING
Shedding Light on the 2016 World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System in the Era of Radiomics and Radiogenomics
The new World Health Organization classification of brain tumors depends on combining the histologic light microscopy features of central nervous system (CNS) tumors with canonical genetic alterations. This integrated diagnosis…
Imaging Genomics in Glioblastoma Multiforme
The integration of imaging characteristics and genomic data has started a new trend in approach toward management of glioblastoma (GBM). Many ongoing studies are investigating imaging phenotypical signatures that could…
Radiomics in Brain Tumors
The role of radiomics in the diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy planning of brain tumors is becoming increasingly clear. Incorporation of quantitative approaches in radiology, in combination with increased computer power,…
Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Criteria and Clinical Endpoints
The Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) Working Group is an international multidisciplinary group whose goal is to improve response criteria and define endpoints for neuro-oncology trials. The RANO criteria for…
Multiparametric Imaging Analysis
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a magnetic resonance–based imaging modality that allows noninvasive sampling of metabolic changes in normal and abnormal brain parenchyma. MRS is particularly useful in the differentiation…
Interrogating Metabolism in Brain Cancer
This article reviews existing and emerging techniques of interrogating metabolism in brain cancer from well-established proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy to the promising hyperpolarized metabolic imaging and chemical exchange saturation transfer…
Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast MR Imaging in Glioma
Dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MR imaging, a perfusion-weighted MR imaging technique typically used in neuro-oncologic applications for estimating the relative cerebral blood volume within brain tumors, has demonstrated much potential…
New State-of-the-Art and Cutting-Edge Advances in Brain Tumor Imaging
Rivka R. Colen, MD, Editor Imaging has transformed the way medicine is practiced and has become the cornerstone for assessment of most, if not all, types of diseases. Since the…
New Techniques in MR Imaging of the Ankle and Foot
Foot and ankle disorders are common in everyday clinical practice. MR imaging is frequently required for diagnosis given the variety and complexity of foot and ankle anatomy. Although conventional MR…
