[Abstract] Being applied to clinical fields, there are several MRI novel technologies playing different roles in reflecting brain tumor’s morphology, hemodynamic, metabolism, and the resulting structural and functional changes. Large data sample are required to validate the rational and standard use of these technologies, so that they may play the guiding role in clinical diagnosis and treatment. This review provides a brief introduction of new MRI techniques and their application value in brain tumor diagnosis, aiming for more rational and appropriate application of these new technologies.
