Description
Although the field of Neuro-Oncology has grown considerably in the last 10 to 15 years and has a rather extensive literature, there are
no comprehensive, ?single-source? books that summarize the current literature and future trends of neuroimaging in neuro-oncology. This
book covers this topic in more comprehensive fashion, making it an important addition to the armamentarium of physicians that care for
patients with brain tumors and other neuro-oncological disorders. Well-founded in basic science, it includes chapters that provide an
overview of relevant background material in critical areas such as physics, contrast agents, ultra-high field brain MRI, and molecular
imaging.
Audience
Neurosurgeons, neuro-oncologists, neuroradiologists, oncologists, neurologists, and researchers (within oncology and radiology) with an interest in neuroimaging and neuro-oncology.
