Abstract: Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI,DCE-MRI)is a very valuable quantitative MRI technology,which has good application value in improving the sensitivity of tumor diagnosis,identifying benign and malignant tumors,and classifying tumors.This article reviews the current status of DCE-MRI studies on staging,efficacy evaluation,and differentiation of scar fibrosis and tumor recurrence after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.This will be as a reference for colleagues.

Key words: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Magnetic resonance imaging, Dynamic enhancement
