Abstract
Imaging for brain tumours is vital not only for making the initial diagnosis but also guides future management. This chapter describes the two main modalities in computerised tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The most common sequences are described as well as what questions are likely to be answered by brain tumour imaging.
