Summary:

"I remember the day when I first saw a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of a patient with glioblastoma multiforme more than two decades ago. I vividly recall the stunning rim of irregular and ominous pattern of enhancement, a large dark area of central necrosis, angry looking edema and mass effect, and unmistakable destruction of the neighboring brain. From that day forward, I never lost my focus, fear, and fascination with tumors of the central nervous system (CNS), especially their variable appearance on imaging and wondering how one histologic type of tumor can look so very different on imaging"-- Provided by publisher.

"Organized according to the 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System, Imaging of CNS Tumors is a concise imaging reference for CNS tumors as well as tumor mimics. This unique, heavily illustrated title covers essential imaging features of more than 120 different types of brain and spine tumors, making it a valuable resource for residents and practitioners in radiology, neurosurgery, neuro-oncology, neuropathology, and neurology, as well as for medical and graduate students and research scientists with interest in CNS tumors. Describes imaging diagnostic criteria, specific imaging features, and associated molecular or genetic alterations in a strictly tumor-oriented manner with presentation of each tumor entity closely following the 2016 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System, considered the authority and international standard for tumor classification.Covers imaging features as well as brief epidemiology, histopathology, molecular biology, and genetics of CNS tumors.Features hundreds of illustrations that clearly depict CNS tumors and tumor mimics, helping you differentiate even your most challenging cases. Reflects changes in terminology and addition and deletion of distinct entities from the 2016 WHO classification updates.
