In the last decade, the management of brain tumors has been revolutionized following the new WHO classification and thanks to the introduction of molecular markers into the clinical routine. From an imaging point of view, the continuous technological developments and the implementation of various radiopharmaceuticals have paved the way to new clinical indications and has helped optimize patient management. In this context, a major breakthrough could derive from the introduction of radiomics and artificial intelligence in the diagnostic and therapeutic pathway. Not forgetting the emerging role of heavy-ion therapy as a complement to the innovative drugs and treatments adopted in medical oncology and radiation therapy. In the present book, all above-mentioned aspects are covered, starting with the novel standards for the WHO classification of brain tumors, to the up-to-date surgical techniques and advanced therapeutic approaches, passing through the currently available imaging modalities and ongoing developments embracing both radiology and nuclear medicine discipline. Imaging represents indeed the ?trait d'union? for all the arguments described in the book; therefore, in most chapters there are dedicated sessions focused on the role of imaging in each specific context. The publication aims to fill the gap between the clinicians and all professionals directly involved in the management of patients with brain tumors and the newest scientific outreach. Moreover, thanks to the comprehensive insight into the latest technological developments, scientists and researchers interested in the topic will find the book a useful tool for future studies and perspective discoveries. 606 $aNuclear medicine 606 $aOncology 606 $aNeurology 606 $aNuclear Medicine 606 $aOncology 606 $aNeurology 615 0$aNuclear medicine. 615 0$aOncology. 615 0$aNeurology. 615 14$aNuclear Medicine. 615 24$aOncology. 615 24$aNeurology. 676 $a616.99406 702 $aLopci$b Egesta 702 $aMansi$b Luigi 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910878982703321 996 $aAdvanced Imaging and Therapy in Neuro-Oncology$94206278 997 $aUNINA
