title: [New developments of neuro-imaging].
abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging has contributed significantly in the recent development of neuro-imaging, especially in recent advances of neuroimaging of brain tumors. MR imaging has numerous advantages over CT such as excellent contrast resolution, arbitrary imaging planes, no bone artifacts and no radiation. Further clinical potential of MR imaging includes fast imaging with use of gradient echo technique, 3 dimensional imaging by 3 DFT and MR angiography. These new techniques will contribute significantly to the advancements of neuroimaging in the near future.
