[Abstract] The morbidity of malignant tumor is currently ascending with years worldwide. The accurate tumor treatment outcome after radiotherapy or chemotherapy is significantly correlating to the treatment planning. Functional magnetic resonance imaging can provide functional and metabolic information of the tumor tissue without invasion, possessing superior application value in tumor treatment outcome. Nevertheless, different sequences have different advantages and deficiencies respectively. This review is aimed to introduce the advances of multiple sequences in application of tumor treatment outcome so as to better applying it into clinic.
