Research progress of magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging in glioma grading and genotype prediction
Glioma is the most common intracranial primary malignant tumor, and the treatment and prognosis of different grades and genotypes of glioma are obviously different. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can reflect the pathological changes of the brain microstructure, especially the white matter tracts. Many scholars have studied the diagnostic value of DTI for glioma grading and genotyping. This article mainly reviews the research progress of quantitative metrics and radiomics model based on DTI which has been used to predict glioma grade and genotype, in order to provide imaging help for individualized diagnosis and treatment plans and prognosis prediction of glioma patients.
