Wichtige Neuerungen in der WHO-Klassifikation der ZNS-Tumoren mit neuroradiologischer Relevanz

Die 5. Edition der WHO-Klassifikation der ZNS-Tumoren beinhaltet viele neue Aspekte, vor allem zu den molekularen Kriterien der Diagnostik. Einige Neuerungen muss auch der Neuroradiologe im Rahmen der Routinediagnostik kennen, z. B. die geänderten Kriterien der Tumorgraduierung oder auch die Tatsache, dass bei bestimmten Tumoren mit molekular bestätigtem Tumorgrad 4 die bildgebenden Merkmale eines hochgradigen Tumors im Einzelfall fehlen können.
