Advances in the clinical application of MRI in the glymphatic system of the brain
The glymphatic system(GS)is a recently discovered mechanism of brain waste elimination,and its disruption is strongly associated to a variety of neurological diseases.The GS has been widely studied using MRI because of its advantages of high soft tissue resolution and multimodal imaging.Providing a substantial basis for the research of the kinetics and structure of the GS and related diseases,MRI contributes as the principal imaging technique.The author will present an overview of the GS and highlight recent advances in MRI of the GS and their application in the investigation of neurological diseases,aiming to stress the importance of glymphatic dysfunction in neuroimaging investigations and provide help for the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of neurological diseases related to the GS.
