TLDR
New CT and MR imaging techniques and metabolic imaging have demonstrated characteristic findings in CNS lymphoma, aiding in its differentiation from other CNS lesions, and advanced imaging techniques may, in the future, substantially improve the diagnostic accuracy of imaging, ultimately facilitating a noninvasive method of diagnosis.Abstract:
CNS lymphoma consists of 2 major subtypes: secondary CNS involvement by systemic lymphoma and PCNSL. Contrast-enhanced MR imaging is the method of choice for detecting CNS lymphoma. In leptomeningeal CNS lymphoma, representing two-thirds of secondary CNS lymphomas, imaging typically shows leptomeningeal, subependymal, dural, or cranial nerve enhancement. Single or multiple periventricular and/or superficial contrast-enhancing lesions are characteristic of parenchymal CNS lymphoma, representing one-third of secondary CNS lymphomas and almost 100% of PCNSLs. New CT and MR imaging techniques and metabolic imaging have demonstrated characteristic findings in CNS lymphoma, aiding in its differentiation from other CNS lesions. Advanced imaging techniques may, in the future, substantially improve the diagnostic accuracy of imaging, ultimately facilitating a noninvasive method of diagnosis. Furthermore, these imaging techniques may play a pivotal role in planning targeted therapies, prognostication, and monitoring treatment response.read more

Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma with Lateral Ventricle Involvement
TL;DR: A 77-year-old woman presented with worsening cognitive impairment, nausea and vomiting and a high-density mass that symmetrically filled both lateral ventricles was revealed, which revealed the mass as a primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe an unusual case of lymphomatosis cerebri in a middle-aged lady presenting with rapid-onset dementia, instead of forming mass lesions, percolated throughout the brain parenchyma, which is often missed on a stereotactic biopsy.

TL;DR: The differential diagnosis of PCNSL includes central nervous system gliomas, metastatic tumors, demyelinating disorders, subacute infarcts, and space-occupied lesions due to an infectious etiology.

Targeted magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles for tumor imaging and therapy
TL;DR: This work states that IO nanoparticles possess unique paramagnetic properties, which and generate significant susceptibility effects resulting in strong T2 and T2* contrast, as well as T1 effects at very low concentrations for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is widely used for clinical oncology imaging.
