Overview
Brief Summary
This clinical trial studies the use of 7-Tesla (7T)and 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting brain diseases. 7T MRI has increased detection sensitivity, including more accurate lesion delineation, higher inter-rater agreement. Diagnostic procedures such as 7T MRI may help ultimately improved diagnostic and therapies confidence to inform decision making than standard 3T MRI.
Detailed Description
7T MRI increased detection sensitivity, attain superior anatomic resolution, higher spatial and spectral specificity of advanced quantitative techniques, and shorter scan times than 3T MRI. When applied clinically, these benefits translate to increased detection sensitivity, and ultimately improved diagnostic and therapies confidence to inform decision making. This study aim to detect the image characteristics and diagnostic accuracy of brain diseases on 7T MRI.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The visibility of white matter tracts on 7T MRI
Time Frame: within a month after biopsy
Visualization of white matter tracts will be done with the use of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) on 7T MRI and measuring the mean diffusivity (MD) value on Post-processing workstation ,and analysis the correlation between these values and pathological.
the correspondence between brain tumor cells found in the biopsies and region of interest(ROI) signal intension on the 7T MRI scan and 3T MRI scan
Time Frame: within a month after biopsy
Pathological assessment of biopsy material compared with the lesion's contrast-enhancement signal intension to normal brain white mater on 7T MRI and 3T MRI
Secondary Outcomes
- The correlation between the ROI's signal intension on 7T MRI scan and the KPS in 1 month after operation(within a month after biopsy)
- The visibility of white matter tracts on 7T MRI and 3T MRI(Six months after the biopsy)
