Differentiation between tumors and tumor-like lesions of the central nervous system is essential for planning adequate treatment and for estimating outcome and future prognosis. Neuroimaging fulfills an essential role in the correct differentiation between both entities. The radiologist should be aware of all non-neoplastic pathologies and diseases that may mimic tumors. High-end anatomic and functional neuroimaging tools integrating multiple modalities and clinical correlation is mandatory. In the current review, frequent tumor-like lesions are discussed.
中枢神经系统肿瘤与肿瘤样病变的鉴别对于制定适当的治疗方案、评估预后和预测未来转归至关重要。神经影像学在正确鉴别两者方面发挥着重要作用。放射科医师应了解所有可能模拟肿瘤的非肿瘤性病变和疾病。必须采用高端的解剖和功能神经影像学工具,整合多种模态并结合临床相关性。本综述讨论了常见的肿瘤样病变。
