| Popis: | Differentiation of tumor recurrence from radiation-induced brain changes is the main challenge of neuroimaging in patients with treated cerebral tumor. The review presents the limitations of structural imaging and additional opportunities of perfusion imaging techniques, proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy and positron emission tomography in discriminating recurrent tumor from radiation injury. |
