This atlas
is a detailed guide to the imaging appearances of gliomas following treatment
with neurosurgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Normal and pathological
findings are displayed in detailed MR images that illustrate the potential
modifications due to treatment. Particular emphasis is placed on characteristic
appearances on the newer functional MR imaging techniques, including MR
spectroscopy, diffusion-weighted imaging, and perfusion imaging. These
techniques are revolutionizing neuroradiology by going beyond the demonstration
of macroscopic alterations to the depiction of preceding metabolic changes at
the cellular and subcellular level, thereby allowing earlier and more specific
diagnosis. A key section comprising some 40 clinical cases and more than 500
illustrations offers an invaluable clinical and research tool not only for
neuroradiologists but also for neurosurgeons, radiotherapists, and medical
oncologists.
