Methods for detecting or ruling out a meningioma in a patient using a phenylbenzothiazole derivative or a stilbene derivative or a biphenylalkyne derivative, and a medical imaging technique such as positron emission tomography/computed tomography are disclosed. In one version of the method, the stilbene derivative is a compound of formula (X): 

Imaging of meningiomas using phenylbenzothiazole, stilbene, or biphenylalkyne derivatives

A method and composition for treating a meningioma in a subject are disclosed. The method includes the step of administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a composition including a cytotoxic agent associated with a phenylbenzothiazole derivative or a stilbene derivative or a biphenylalkyne derivative that accumulates within meningiomas. In one version of the method, the phenylbenzothiazole derivative is a compound of formula (V):
