In this study, the preliminary results indicate that the multi-parametric MR imaging technique is feasible to identify the GBM in rats at early stage. Compared to the traditional imaging sequences, each sequence of our multi-parametric imaging protocol, such as spiral DWI, VDS-DWI, DCE-MRI and CE-T1W, enables discrimination of the early stage GBM from post-injury brain edema. For VDS-DWI, the increase of SNR and removal of distortion can be also obtained in GBM animal model in our study. The multi-parametric imaging techniques might be an alternative imaging approach to detect lesions no matter in brain or other organs at clinically.
