[Abstract] It remains challenging to distinguish radiation-induced brain injury from tumor recurrence in treated patients with high grade glioma (HGG) due to overlapping radiologic features. Both may present with new and/or increasing enhancing mass lesions and fulfill standard criteria for progression. Distinguishing radiation-induced brain injury from tumor recurrence is crucial for treatment planning. The purpose of this review is to outline the current MRI researches on differential diagnosis between tumor recurrence and radiation-induced brain injury.
