[Abstract] Extracellular volume (ECV) is a quantitative factor of intravascular and extravascular-extracellular space. With the further study of tumor microenvironment, ECV can quantify the decisive components of malignant tumors and provide more quantitative analysis indicators non-invasively, and has a wide application prospect in tumor-related diseases. We reviewed the application of ECV based on MRI and CT in the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, pathological grading and prognosis of malignant tumors in this paper to enable clinicians and radiologists to understand the application of ECV in malignant tumors, in order to promote the application of ECV in cancer research and development.
