Radiological imaging plays a pivotal role in glioma patient care. It provides qualitative information about the tumor, such as the presumed pathological diagnosis and molecular status. In addition, it can provide anatomical information necessary for surgery and is helpful for monitoring treatment response. In this review, we discuss the following topics: 1.The progress in radiomics in the field of glioma. 2.Detailed analysis of the T2‒FLAIR mismatch sign. 3.The potential of quantitative magnetic resonance(MR)imaging in the realm of qualitative glioma imaging. Radiomics“focuses on improvements in image analysis, using an automated high‒throughput extraction of large amounts(200+)of quantitative features of medical images”. Despite extensive research, its diagnostic accuracy for detecting IDH mutations is limited to approximately 85% sensitivity and specificity. The diagnosis of 1p/19q co‒deletion is 10% less accurate than that of the IDH mutation. The accuracy for diagnosing MGMT promoter methylation is still uncertain. Furthermore, the generalization of diagnostic algorithms derived from machine learning is another critical issue. While many researchers in the community have pushed radiomic research to the limit, a conventional qualitative imaging feature, namely, “the T2‒FLAIR mismatch sign,”was discovered. This imaging feature is able to identify IDH‒mutant, 1p/19q non‒codeleted astrocytomas with a sensitivity of 20‒ 50% and a specificity of almost 100%. Through radiomic research of gliomas, the authors noticed potential effects of differences in image acquisition parameters between different institutions on the low sensitivity of the T2‒FLAIR mismatch sign for detecting IDH‒mutant and 1p/19q non‒codeleted astrocytomas. Indeed, tuning the image acquisition parameters for FLAIR significantly improved the sensitivity of the T2‒FLAIR mismatch sign. Finally, the future of MR‒based glioma imaging relies on quantitative MR acquisition. This technique directly measures the tissue’s T1‒ and T2‒relaxation times, which provides valuable information for cancer tissue characterization. For example, we found that IDH‒mutant, 1p/19q non‒codeleted astrocytomas contain tissues with very long T1‒ and T2‒relaxation times(longer than 3,000 ms in T1‒relaxation time). The commercialization of rapid quantitative MR acquisition technology could further boost the capability of radiomics. (Received July 26, 2021;accepted September 1, 2021)

Head trauma among children is a common presentation encountered on a daily basis, although most of which are mild and do not require neurosurgical management. However, it is necessary to understand the pathological characteristics of head trauma peculiar to children. Radiation exposure to children should be avoided as much as possible because children have higher radiation sensitivity than adults. Three clinical decision rules derived from multicenter studies were used to identify the risk for intracranial injuries and to minimize the use of computed tomography ( CT ) scans. Pediatric ‒ specific pathology such as extracranial hematoma, accessory suture, benign enlargement of the subarachnoid spaces, abusive head trauma, and bone resorption after decompressive craniotomy are also outlined. Since medico ‒ social opinions are required as an expert of the brain, accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment to children with up ‒ to ‒ date knowledge is essential.
