Introduction to Metastases of Malignant Tumors in the Brain

In this chapter, we sought to illustrate the possibilities of the most modern neuroimaging methods and compare their diagnostic capabilities in relation to metastases based on their primary source. Before illustrations in each nosological group, some background information is presented, while manifestations of metastases are described by their primary source. The findings allowed not only to carry out a visual assessment of the size and extent of the pathological process but also to quantify the intensity of biological processes that occur in the tumor tissues and the surrounding brain structures, as well as to evaluate changes induced by the treatment.
