Neuroradiology of Brain Tumors: Practical Guide based on the 5th Edition of WHO Classification

This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of brain tumor imaging, covering both 2021 WHO classification and epidemiology. It includes detailed descriptions of imaging features with a large number of examples, using a schematic approach with essential information on genetics, clinical features, location, and prognosis. Figures are provided with T1, T2, FLAIR, DWI, ADC, perfusion, spectroscopy, and post contrast study, and examples of the Amide Proton Transfer (APT) technique are included. It is an invaluable tool for neuroradiologists, radiologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, pediatricians, and pathologists.

While numerous books detailing the imaging of brain tumors from MR acquisition techniques to differential diagnosis are authored by different contributors and feature chapters with diverse styles and designs, this book presents a unique vision and structure that seamlessly combines modern molecular classification of brain tumors with modern neuroradiology. After an introductory chapter on general imaging features of brain tumors, the book delves into each distinct tumor based on the 2021 WHO classification, while also distinguishing between adult and pediatric tumors, as the epidemiology differs significantly between these two groups.

The approach is schematic, providing only essential information on epidemiology, genetics, clinical features, location, and prognosis, followed by a detailed description of imaging features with numerous examples. Figures are predominantly created using the same modality, encompassing various MR techniques, as well as CT when applicable. Each figure includes T1, T2, FLAIR, DWI, ADC, perfusion imaging techniques, spectroscopy, and post-contrast study. Additionally, some examples of the Amide Proton Transfer (APT) technique are provided.

At the end of each chapter, a scheme summarizes the diverse appearances of the tumor across different sequences. This book serves as an invaluable resource for neuroradiologists, radiologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, pediatricians, and pathologists.
