MRI and PET Imaging in Neuro-Oncology—Current Developments and Clinical Translation

Dear Colleagues,

Imaging biomarkers by means of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) techniques are increasingly applied in the clinic, with a fast-growing body of evidence regarding their diagnostic value in neuro-oncology. In contrast to biochemical or histological markers, the key advantages of imaging biomarkers are the non-invasive nature and spatial and temporal resolution of these approaches. This Special Issue of Cancers focuses on new technical developments and clinical applications of novel MR biomarkers in humans, with a strong focus on neuro-oncologic diseases. These include both validation studies with clinically established biomarkers and novel approaches that have recently demonstrated high potential for clinical utility.
