Brain neoplasms: epidemiology, diagnosis, and prospects for cost-effective imaging

Alf Hutter et al. Neuroimaging Clin N Am. 2003 May.

Abstract

Currently, the literature lacks a solid body of research on decision and cost-effectiveness analysis of imaging strategies for adults and children suspected of having a brain neoplasm. This article describes the epidemiology and clinical presentation of brain neoplasms, reviews current diagnostic strategies, highlights gaps in the literature on decision and cost-effectiveness analysis, and suggests directions for future research.
