Brain Tumours

TAKE HOME MESSAGE

• Modern imaging offers a series of extraordinary complementary tools in diagnosis, treatment and follow up of brain tumours • Unfortunately most of them still need to be validated • Functional imaging and DTI in a clinical setting do not substitute cortical and subcortical intraoperative mapping • Despite advancement in multimodality imaging, definitive diagnosis of brain tumours still requires histopathology and molecular analysis in the vast majority of cases.
