The continuous progress in the understanding of molecular processes of disease formation and progression attributes an increasing importance to biomedical molecular imaging methods.
Patients with gliomas frequently undergo combination therapy that can result in complex and potentially confusing appearances on follow-up imaging. In this context, differentiation between tumor recurrence and radiation necrosis, for example, can be very difficult. This atlas is…
