摘要
Continued biomedical advances and increased demands on quality health care have led to a new era of personalized medicine--a concept of medicine that uses specific infor- mation to an individual to help diagnose disease, plan treatment, assess treatment efficacy, and/or predict progno- sis. This concept has evolved from the idea of ＂pa- tient-centered care＂, which intends to shift the focus of health care from diseases to patients （Abujudeh et al., 2016）. Medical imaging is essential in the practice of mod- em medicine, and its role in personalized medicine has nev- er been greater. In particular, magnetic resonance （MR） imaging--a versatile and growing medical imaging modal- ity--is at the forefront leading the transformation from tra- ditional practice to personalized medicine. In 2001, a survey of leading physicians ranked MR imaging as well as CT scan as the most important medical innovations since 1980s （Fuchs et al., 2001）. Over the past four decades, MR imag- ing has shown an explosive growth and become the modal- ity of choice for assessment of the central nervous system,
