Abstract

Meningiomas are the most common primary tumors of the central nervous system and as such they are often encountered at neuroimaging. Fortunately, meningiomas are readily diagnosed with anatomic computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. While conventional imaging is the mainstay for initial diagnosis and delineating tumor for treatment planning and posttreatment follow-up, the last couple of decades have given rise to advanced physiologic and metabolic imaging techniques that serve as powerful tools in the management of meningioma. These modern approaches are allowing imaging to expand its utility to include extraction of biologic and potentially prognostic information that will ultimately improve care for meningioma patients.
