Abstract
he radiographic characterization of intra-axial brain tumors is a critical component in the clinical management of paT tients. Magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) imaging are fundamental imaging techniques used in the initial diagnosis and subsequent surveillance during/after treatment. On the basis of diagnostic imaging (often after the development of symptoms/signs), surgical intervention often is performed that frequently is followed by adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation. Serial imaging, typicallyMR imaging, is used to assess the response to adjuvant therapy and to monitor for recurrence or progression. Currently, CT imaging (nonperfusion) often is reserved for acute neurologic decline that results from hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, or other mass lesions.
