Abstract

Gliomas are a significant health problem with a lot of imaging challenges. The role of imaging is no longer limited to only providing anatomic details, but with the advancement of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques, it now permits the assessment of the freedom of water molecule movement, the microvascular structure, the hemodynamic characteristics, and the chemical makeup of certain metabolites of lesions. These advanced imaging techniques include diffusion-weighted imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, Magnetic Resonance (MR) perfusion, MR angiography, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. their role in the diagnosis, classification, and post-treatment follow-up of gliomas, as well as their application in radiogenomics and glioma analysis with the aid of artificial intelligence, is presented and discussed.
