[Abstract] With the rapid development of magnetic resonance imaging technologies and big data era, the diagnosis of tumors does not only depend on imaging manifestations. How to quantitatively evaluate the characteristics of tumors has gradually become a hot research issue. T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE) techniques have become routine sequences during the daily MRI scanning at present. The signal intensity on the weighted images cannot directly reflect the characteristics of the tissue. As one of the MR quantitative technologies, T2 mapping is objective, reproductive and stable, and has been frequently applied to the researches about osteoarthritis and myocardial edema. With the development of MR imaging, it has been applied to the studies of body tumor gradually in recent years. This article reviews the progress about quantitative research of T2 mapping in body tumors.
