Neuro-oncology departments within cancer centers provide state-of-the-art treatment and research facilities addressing brain tumors and cancers of the nervous system. This book describes the neuroimaging centers housed within and the methodological advances that have emerged as a consequence of these integrated hospital and research facilities. With input from both researchers and clinicians, Neuroimaging Development in Neuro-Oncology Centers provides a comprehensive summary of these multidisciplinary neuro-oncology centers and the benefits of colocalized organization, delving into the multidisciplinary methods housed in these centers and their application in a clinical setting. This view of both research and clinical settings is extremely valuable and uniquely found in one volume here. This is a critical read for neuro-oncologists, neuroscientists, neuro-oncologists, neurologists, and any trainees working in methods development or brain tumor research, with the ultimate goal of elevating the quality of brain cancer research and treatment everywhere. Describes advances emerging from multidisciplinary neuro-oncology centers Examines the benefits of integrated hospital and research facilities organized to promote collaboration Features unprecedented focus and new material on the convergence of research and clinic in brain tumor research Broadly appeals to anyone interested in neuro-oncology, methods development, or treatment of patients with brain tumors Useful to researchers and clinicians interested in increased collaborative research Provides a thorough overview of neuroimaging methods prevalent in patient care (MRI, CT, PET, EEG) and the r&d behind it Includes a comprehensive glossary of research and clinical terms INDICE: 1.
