Abstract: Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the glioma using the variety of functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI),and to perform a more accurate preoperative diagnosis of gliomas.Methods Thirty-five patients with gliomas confirmed by pathology were examined by magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)and functional MRI.Rapid diffusion coefficient(D*),Slow diffusion coefficient(D),perfusion fraction(f)and distribution diffusion coefficient(DDC)in the intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion weighted imaging(IVIM-DWI)were analyzed statistically.Results The mean values of D*,D,f and DDC in the IVIM sequence of the patients with high-grade of gliomas were statistically significant when compared to the IVIM values of the contralateral normal brain tissues(P<0.05).Conclusion A variety of magnetic resonance functional imaging sequences are used to analyze gliomas,which can avoid tumor heterogeneity and improve the recognition ability and accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging in high grade gliomas.
