Advances in the application of susceptibility weighted imaging in brain gliomas
Gliomas are the most common malignant tumors of the central nervous system. Their differential diagnosis, preoperative pathological grading, genetic typing, preoperative planning, and postoperative efficacy evaluation are of great significance for the implementation of personalized treatment. Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) is a technology that uses the differences in magnetic susceptibility between different tissues to create images, which can clearly show draining veins and hemorrhagic products within gliomas. This review introduces the basic technical principles of SWI, as well as its applications and research progress in the diagnosis, treatment, and radiomics of gliomas, providing more reference points for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis assessment of gliomas.
