Abstract:

Multimodal magnetic resonance imaging is an emerging brain imaging technology that integrates multiple functions of magnetic resonance imaging technology. It has the advantages of high accuracy, high distinguishability and low invasiveness, and also can provide more comprehensive and systematic brain tissue information in the anatomical, functional and molecular levels. In recent years, with the continuous development of magnetic resonance imaging technology, multimodal magnetic resonance technology has been widely used in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of glioma. Therefore, understanding the principles of multimodal magnetic resonance imaging technology and its application in grading, differential diagnosis and prognostic assessment of glioma can help clinicians make better diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Key words: Magnetic resonance imaging, Glioma, Multimodal imaging
