    H3K27-altered diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) are aggressive WHO Grade 4 tumors primarily affecting children and are critical to differentiate from non-DMGs.

  • 2

    Advanced MRI techniques like APTw, ASL, and DKI enhance the characterization of H3K27-altered DMGs by providing insights into metabolism, perfusion, and diffusion.

  • 3

    Conventional MRI lacks the ability to capture biological information related to H3K27-altered DMGs, limiting its effectiveness in diagnosis and prognosis.

  • 4

    Multi-shell diffusion MRI techniques, such as DKI, offer a more comprehensive view of tissue complexity and can distinguish between H3K27-altered and wild-type gliomas.

  • 5

    This study aims to integrate metabolic, perfusion, and diffusion imaging techniques to improve the diagnosis and prognosis of H3K27-altered DMGs.
