TABLE OF CONTENTS/OUTLINE • Review of current brain tumour MR imaging protocols • Mechanism behind APT imaging • Review of current clinical literature on APT imaging for brain tumors • APT for tumour recurrence vs radiation necrosis • APT in glioma grading • APT with SWI-based ITSS as a non-contrast replacement for CE-Perfusion MR • Limitations and future directions for APT imaging in the brain
