Previous ed.: 2002. Includes bibliographical references and index. Epidemiology, histologic classification, and clinical course of brain tumors -- Imaging modalities in brain tumors -- Molecular abnormalities in gliomas -- The clinical applicability of fMRI and DTI in patients with brain tumors -- Low-grade gliomas -- High-grade gliomas -- Pineal tumors -- Embryonal tumors -- Tumors of the cranial nerves -- Meningeal tumors -- Central nervous lymphomas and hemopoietic neoplasms -- Masses of the sellar and junxtasellar region -- Brain metastasis -- Scintigraphy for brain tumors. This volume provides a deeper understanding of the diagnosis of brain tumors by correlating radiographic imaging features with the underlying pathological abnormalities. All modern imaging modalities are used to complete a diagnostic overview of brain tumors with emphasis on recent advances in diagnostic neuroradiology. High-quality illustrations depicting common and uncommon imaging characteristics of a wide range of brain tumors are presented and analysed, drawing attention to the ways in which these characteristics reflect different aspects of pathology. Important theoretical considerations. |
