Updates in Brain Imaging

Neuroradiology has seen many advances in the past few years, placing the radiologist in a crucial role. Large trials have demonstrated the efficacy of thrombectomy for large vessel occlusions in stroke, emphasizing the importance of triaging patients for intervention. Genomics has become central to the classification of brain neoplasms, culminating in the 2016 World Health Organization classification of brain tumors. Advanced imaging techniques, such as functional MR imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, perfusion, and MR spectroscopy, have added value in tumor diagnosis, surgical planning, and surveillance.
