The European network GliMR published an article collection to highlight the potential of advanced MRI techniques to improve diagnosis and treatment of glioma, a type of brain cancer with poor chances of survival, affecting 44,000 patients yearly in the EU. On 7 March 2022, the COST Action ‘Glioma MR Imaging 2.0’ (GliMR) published a collection of 15 scientific articles and reviews documenting the latest evidence of the role of advanced MRI techniques in the standard of care for glioma patients. This collection was assembled in collaboration with the peer-reviewed journal ‘Magnetic Resonance Materials in Physics, Biology and Medicine’ as this year’s special issue entitled ‘Micro- to macroscale magnetic resonance imaging of glioma’. Yearly, approximately 44,000 patients are diagnosed with this type of brain tumor in the EU. Researchers are still struggling to devise the best treatment strategy for individual patients. GliMR believes that advanced MRI techniques may play an important role by providing crucial information to allow accurate diagnosis, efficient treatment planning, and patient follow-up.  “Advanced MRI is non-invasive, provides important information that can support clinicians in their decision-making, and are more and more available. Although these techniques can clearly benefit the patients, they are unfortunately still underused in the … Continue reading Advanced MRI techniques might improve the standard of care of glioma patients
