Abstract: Primary brain tumors might emerge from various cell types of the brain including glial cells, neurons, neuroglial precursor cells, pinealocytes, the meninges, choroid plexus, pericytes of the vessels, cells of the hypophysis, and lymphocytes. This review aimed to discuss the roles of CT& MRI in neuroimaging for evaluation and diagnosis of primary brain tumors, we intended to demonstrate the features of each of these imaging techniques, and then compare in between the two modalities in different aspects. Computerized and manual searches were performed to identify all relevant data publish through December 2016 looking for only English publications and human subject articles. Search was done through a PubMed search of MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library medical databases was performed. CT and MRI stay the main techniques utilized for the detection of primary brain tumors of the CNS. CT is very helpful in the setting of brand-new neurological indications or signs, with or without a history of malignancy. MRI is extremely delicate for the detection of brain metastases, but currently both MRI and CT are accepted methods of evaluating for brain metastases. But still MRI is a versatile and effective instrument for evaluating patients with main brain tumors. The integration of the MRI into treatment assessment helps in reducing early termination of reliable therapies because of treatment-associated imaging modifications.
