Although the field of Neuro-Oncology has grown considerably in the last 10 to 15 years and has a rather extensive literature, there are no comprehensive, “single-source” books that summarize the current literature and future trends of neuroimaging in neuro-oncology. This book covers this topic in more comprehensive fashion, making it an important addition to the armamentarium of physicians that care for patients with brain tumors and other neuro-oncological disorders. Well-founded in basic science, it includes chapters that provide an overview of relevant background material in critical areas such as physics, contrast agents, ultra-high field brain MRI, and molecular imaging.

Herbert B. Newton
Dr. Newton is currently the Director of the Neuro-Oncology Center and CNS Oncology Program at the Advent Health Cancer Institute and Advent Health Orlando Campus. He recently retired as Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery at the Ohio State University Medical Center and the James Cancer Hospital, and was the holder of the Esther Dardinger Endowed Chair in Neuro-Oncology. He trained in Neuro-Oncology with Drs. Jerome Posner and William Shapiro at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, and since then had been in academic Neuro-Oncology for over 25 years. He has published more than 220 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, and is the Chief Editor or Co-Editor of ten textbooks in the field of Neurology and Neuro-Oncology. In addition, he has been listed as a Best Doctor (Neurology) and Top Doctor for Cancer (Neuro-Oncology) for the past 18 years.
