Abstract
CLINICAL/METHODICAL ISSUE: The influence of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification from 2016 on the radiological diagnosis for tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) in adults. STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL METHODS: Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MR spectroscopy. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS: In order to come as close as possible to the correct diagnosis of CNS tumors, MRI is the long-standing accepted method of choice that can in some cases be supported by the use of CT to demonstrate calcification or bone destruction. In individual cases MRI spectroscopy can be helpful for the differentiation between neoplasms and inflammatory lesions or surveillance of tumor therapy, just as perfusion, which is not discussed in this article.
