Imaging Method Findings in CNS Lymphoma Potential Value as Diagnostic Tool in CNS Lymphoma MRI/CT Diffusion MRI/diffusion tensor imaging Restricted diffusion in lesions (hyperintense on DWI and hypointense on ADC maps)40,44–47 Differentiation of CNS lymphoma and malignant glioma/metastases Decreased FA values in lesions47 Perfusion MRI/perfusion CT/permeability MRI Low maximum CBV40,41 Differentiation of CNS lymphoma and malignant glioma/metastases Characteristic intensity time curve related to leakage of contrast into the interstitial space41 Assessment of microvascular tumor permeability relevant for diagnosis, prognostication, and therapy MR spectroscopy Elevated lipid peaks and high Cho/Cr ratios29,42–44,59 Differentiation of CNS lymphoma and some gliomas and CNS lymphomas and toxoplasmosis/PML in AIDS patients High-resolution SWI Blood products and calcifications are rare findings14,27 Differentiation of CNS lymphoma and high-grade gliomas MRI with new contrast agents MRI with iron oxide nanoparticles: lesions enhance less than with gadolinium56 Differentiation of CNS lymphoma and MS Metabolic imaging PET FDG-PET, methionine PET: hypermetabolic lesions with increased uptake of FDG or methionine25,60,62 Differentiation of CNS lymphoma and gliomas/metastases/meningiomas Early evaluation of therapeutic response SPECT/SPET Hypermetabolic lesions with high N-isopropyl iodoamphetamine or thallium-201 uptake9,63,64 Differentiation of AIDS-related CNS lymphoma and infectious intracranial lesions
