Advanced MR Imaging of Gliomas: An Update

Advanced MR Imaging of Gliomas: An Update

Recent advances in the treatment of cerebral gliomas have increased the demands on noninvasive neuroimaging for the diagnosis, therapeutic planning, tumor monitoring, and patient outcome prediction. In the meantime, improved magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques have shown much potentials in ev...
