影像学是脑肿瘤患者诊断和随访的常规手段。尽管最新的磁共振成像技术能够提供软组织形态异常的良好描述，但它们通常无法区分水肿和治疗性坏死与复发或残留肿瘤。因此，为了评估对治疗的反应，重要的是使用功能成像方式，如PET和MR光谱。
Imaging is used routinely for the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with brain tumors. Although the latest MR imaging techniques are able to provide an excellent depiction of abnormalities in soft tissue morphology, they are frequently unable to distinguish edema and treatment-induced necrosis from recurrent or residual tumor. For assessment of response to therapy, it is therefore important to use functional imaging modalities such as PET and MR spectroscopy.
