title: [Magnetic resonance imaging of brain tumors].
abstract: Investigating intracranial tumors, different MR-related methods permit not only morphological visualization of lesions but also give insights into their metabolism, resulting in information about the biological qualities of the respective tumor. Magnetic resonance protocols are selected based on the type and timing of onset of clinical signs. Combined information from imaging studies and spectroscopy facilitates the differential diagnosis between blastomatous and non-blastomatous lesions before and after therapy.
