[Abstract] Glioma is the most common primary malignant tumors in the brain. which is highly heterogeneous. Even if the classification is the same, sometimes the prognosis is significantly different. Genotyping can better explain the biological behavior of the tumor.Amongthem,O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is closely related to the prognosis and treatment decisions of high-grade gliomas. It is an important DNA repair enzyme, which is not only associated with the development of glioma, but also with the sensitivity of alkylating agent chemotherapy and radiotherapy response. The methylation of the MGMT promoter will silence the transcriptional expression of MGMT, and is an important mechanism for the decrease of MGMT expression. In recent years, with the rapid advancement of science and technology, radiology has gradually developed towards the direction of artificial intelligence. The predictive performance of intelligent imaging on the methylation status of the MGMT promoter in high-grade gliomas was reviewed in this article.
