          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.
