Due to the introduction of advanced functional and spectroscopic magnetic resonance (MR) sequences, MR imaging has gained significant importance in neuro-oncology. In contrast to recent years when neuro-oncological imaging was mostly limited to contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images, advanced MR methods provide direct visualization and assessment of tumor pathophysiology. This article summarizes the most relevant MR methods for neuro-oncological imaging and highlights the pathophysiological background as well as potential clinical applications. Ultimately, this article gives a glimpse into the future and introduces potential applications of ultra-high field MRI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
