[Abstract] Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging has become an important supplement to conventional brain tumor imaging in recent years. It can obtain the information of brain tumor diffusion and perfusion at the same time, which is conducive to a more comprehensive understanding of tumor physiological and pathological changes and tumor microenvironment. Recently, IVIM has achieved certain results in preoperative diagnosis, grading diagnosis, genotype monitoring and prognosis evaluation of glioma. This article will review the basic principle of IVIM and its clinical application in brain tumors.
