Abstract：The current standard treatment for high-grade glioma (HGG) is resection and followed by radiotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy. Tumor recurrence and post-treatment radiation effects (PTRE) are the most important factors influencing overall survival. The PTRE includes pseudoprogression and radiation necrosis. Post-treatment monitoring should identify tumor progression and PTRE early and effectively. At present, DWI is the most common functional technology in assessment of posttreatment HGG. In recent years, some new MR functional technologies provide new approaches for evaluation HGG response to treatment, including mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADCmin), apparent diffusion coefficient histogram, and functional diffusion map (fDM).
