Abstract
Of the currently available brain imaging techniques for diagnosing tumors, diffusion-weighted MRI and perfusion MRI are cutting-edge techniques and may provide improved diagnostic capacity compared to traditional techniques such as positron emission tomography. Moreover, they are fully non-invasive and avoid the exposure to radiation. While MRI in general has been used in research and medicine for decades, the more recent development of multi-modal and multiparametric imaging in neuro oncology holds much promise for the enhancement of diagnosis, prognosis, and patient-tailored treatments in this field. This review will evaluate how these various imaging techniques provide clinical value above and beyond previous techniques.
