Abstract
This article focuses on advanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques and how they can be used to help diagnose a specific tumor, suggest tumor grade and prognosis, follow tumor progression, evaluate tumor extension, suggest the ideal site for biopsy, and assess therapeutic response. Advanced MR imaging techniques may also help to distinguish between lesions that simulate brain tumors on conventional MR imaging studies.
