Overview
This sunrise session will give a new perspective for the role of neuroinflammation in tumors with the aim of diagnosis and treatment with advanced MRI techniques.

Target Audience
Physicians and scientists interested in the new MRI techniques to detect neuroinflammation and help with brain tumor diagnosis and treatment.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Explain how to apply MRI in neuroinflammation detection in tumor situation;

07:00		Clinical application of multimodal MRI in diffuse gliomas View Presentation Video Qiang Yue, Simin Zhang, Xiaorui Su, Shuang Li, Hanbing Shao, Yujiao Deng, Wei Hu, Hongjing Zhang Keywords: Neuro: Brain, Neuro: Brain function, Neuro: Brain plasticity This lecture gives a brief introduction to typical and atypical appearance of diffuse glioma on multimodal MRI, as well as the possible difference from other disorders that may mimic gliomas. Recent advance of MR researches on glioma are also reviewed and summarized. The terminology of diffuse glioma is based on the 2021 WHO classification of the tumors of the central nervous system.
07:30		Mapping the Microenvironment of Tumors View Presentation Video Shanshan Jiang Keywords: Education Committee: Clinical MRI The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a crucial factor in tumor development, progression, metastasis, and response to therapy. It is characterized by altered metabolism, hypoxia, inflammation, and angiogenesis. This lecture aims to provide attendees with an in-depth understanding of the fundamental concepts and clinical translational value of the TME, as well as functional and molecular imaging techniques used to map TME from various aspects. The MRI techniques and analytic approaches to be discussed include chemical exchange saturation transfer imaging (including amide proton transfer imaging), diffusion-weighted imaging, perfusion-weighted imaging, and omics data analysis.
