Brief Summary
In order to come as close as possible to the correct diagnosis of CNS tumors, MRI is the long-standing accepted method of choice that can in some cases be supported by the use of CT to demonstrate calcification or bone destruction. In individual cases MRI spectroscopy can be helpful for the differentiation between neoplasms and inflammatory lesions or surveillance of tumor therapy, just as perfusion
