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

While several books describing imaging of brain tumors from MR  acquisition techniques to differential diagnosis are written by  different contributors and present chapters with different styles and  design, this book illustrates a unique vision and structure putting  together modern molecular classification of brain tumor with modern  neuroradiology.
After an introduction on general imaging features of  brain tumors the book explores each different tumor according to 2021  WHO classification, distinguishing however between adult and pediatric  tumors, being the epidemiology substantially different between these two  groups.

The approach is schematic with few essential  information on epidemiology, genetics, clinical features, location and  prognosis, followed by a detailed description of imaging features with a  large number of examples. Figures are mainly put together with the same  modality considering all the different MR techniques as well as CT when  it can be useful. Each figure provides T1, T2, FLAIR, DWI, ADC,  perfusion imaging techniques, spectroscopy and post contrast study. Some  examples of Amide Proton Transfer (APT) technique are provided as well.

At the end of each chapter a scheme summarizes the different appearance of the tumor in any different sequence.
 This book will be an invaluable tool for neuroradiologists,  radiologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, pediatricians, and  pathologists.
