Abstract
In this chapter we have addressed diagnostic problems that arise during the traetment of gliomas. We have also reviwed the available methods and the imaging features of these abnormalities that have been shown to improve our diagnisstic accuracy. In addition, in this chapter we have provided a brief review of the literature that relates to the genomic alterations of the brain tumors. A number of different biomarkers have been found to play a major role in determining the biological behavior of brain neoplasms with seemingly identical appearance on conventional MR imaging. Such biomarkers have also been used in selecting the appropriate medical management.
