Abstract

There is a growing role for neuroimaging in the multidisciplinary management of brain tumors. Beyond anatomical imaging, additional functional and physiological imaging capabilities introduce the potential to interrogate characteristics of the tumor that can aid in diagnosis, guide treatment decisions, and better evaluate response to treatment in a timely manner. This chapter highlights preclinical investigation that facilitates translation of these promising functional and physiological imaging measures including perfusion and diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and molecular and metabolic imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) and spectroscopy.
