Abstract:

Neuroimaging is essential in survey of patients with brain tumors. An important objectives of neuroimaging are highly reliable non-invasive diagnosis, treatment planning and evaluation of treatment outcomes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the modern neuroimaging methods. This technique ensures analysis of structural cerebral changes, vascular and metabolic characteristics of brain tumors. It is necessary to standardize imaging parameters and unify protocols and methods considering a widespread use of MRI for brain tumors. In our practice, we use our own experience, world literature data and evidence-based international guidelines on the diagnosis of various brain diseases. The purpose of this review is to study the modern principles of magnetic resonance imaging in adults with brain tumors in neurosurgical practice.
