New technology combining high-speed MRI with machine learning methods for data processing found metabolic changes in oligodendroglioma brain tumors. Clinical MRI, in the left two columns, could not distinguish between tumors of grade II, top, and grade III, bottom. However, the new technique found elevated levels of choline and lactate in the grade III tumor. Image courtesy of Yibo Zhao
