弥散加权磁共振成像和弥散张量磁共振成像的出现对脑肿瘤检测影响不大。弥散加权成像可有效表征特定类型的肿块，特别是区分表皮样与蛛网膜囊肿，以及囊性肿瘤与脑内脓肿。使用弥散张量磁共振成像进行纤维束成像的术前计划，以及利用弥散加权成像评估肿瘤对化疗和放疗的反应，可能在不久的将来成为重要的应用。
The advent of diffusion-weighted MR imaging and diffusion tensor MR imaging has had little impact on brain tumor detection. Diffusion-weighted imaging has been effective in characterizing specific types of masses, particularly in distinguishing epidermoids from arachnoid cysts, and cystic tumors from intracerebral abscesses. Presurgical planning using tractography with diffusion tensor MR imaging, and perhaps the evaluation of tumor response to chemotherapy and radiation therapy with diffusion-weighted imaging, may become important applications in the near future.
