Abstract

Key Points• The management of gliomas has changed dramatically since the presentation of the revised WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System in 2016 emphasizing the tumor heterogeneity based on their molecular profile.• The need for a more noninvasive characterization of glioblastomas (GBM) by establishing reliable imaging biomarkers to predict patient outcome and improve therapy monitoring is bigger than ever.• Multiparametric MRI, including promising newer techniques like electrical property tomography and mapping, may have the potential to provide enough information for intelligent imaging postprocessing algorithms to face the challenge by decoding GBM heterogeneity noninvasively.
