[Abstract] Glioma is the most common primary malignant tumor of brain parenchyma. Gliomas are divided into grades 1-4, of which grades 2 and 3 are called lower-grade gliomas (LGGs). The 2021 World Health Organization Central Nervous System (WHO CNS) deepens the importance of molecular typing for the diagnosis and treatment of LGGs, using LGGs molecular typing for pathological grading upgrade diagnosis. As an emerging field, radiomics can noninvasively predict the molecular subtypes of LGGs before surgery, providing a basis for treatment evaluation and prognosis prediction of LGGs. At present, many studies have established radiomics models by analyzing MRI routine sequences, functional sequences, combined with clinical information, using machine learning and deep learning to predict LGGs molecular typing noninvasively before surgery. Although it has limitations, it still has certain scientific research and clinical significance. This article reviews the research progress of LGGs molecular typing in MRI radiomics, in order to predict LGGs molecular typing by MRI radiomics, and to facilitate the formulation of clinical individualized diagnosis and treatment plans and prognosis prediction.
