Glioma is
the most common primary cerebral tumor. Accurate glioma grading is crucial for
treatment planning and prognosis. Regular medical examination technology such
as histopathologic assessment or Conventional MR imaging examination has their
limitations. In this research, we used the T1ρ examination at 3.0T to explore
the correlation of the T1ρ value with pathological grades of glioma in 29
patients. Our results suggested that the T1ρ values are negatively correlated
with the grade of gliomas.In conclusion, the T1ρ values could potentially serve
as non-invasive predictors for the preoperative grading of gliomas.
