[Abstract] Brain oligodendroglia tumor is the second most common glioma in central nervous system which has distinct molecular biologic and radiologic characteristic. MR spectroscopy, perfusion-weighted imaging, diffusion weighted imaging and susceptibility-weighted imaging, could reflect tumorous metabolism, hemodynamics and cellularity information and is superior to conventional MR imaging in preoperative diagnosis, classification and postoperative prognostic evaluation for brain glioma. In addition, the MRI characteristic of oligodendroglial tumor is associated with its biological features, that is to say MRI could reveal the tumorous gene type, In this article, we review the MR imaging for brain oligodendrogilal tumor, hoping to improve the preoperative diagnostic and grade level of brain oligodendroglial tumor.
