| Abstract | MRI using T(1) weighted, T(2) weighted and gadolinium-enhanced sequences plays a central clinical role in diagnosis, characterisation, surveillance and therapeutic monitoring of gliomas. Such conventional MRI protocols provide high resolution multiplanar structural information, and substantially improved tissue characterisation compared with CT. However, the MRI signal lacks biological specificity, e.g. T(2) weighted dependent signal abnormality is dominated by tissue water content, and contrast enhancement reflects a non-specific increase in blood-brain barrier permeability. This limits non-invasive glioma diagnosis, characterisation and therapeutic planning and assessment of active tumour load may be confounded by treatment-related effects. The complex features of glioma morphology and often subtle changes between MRI examinations are also frequently difficult to detect reliably by visual inspection of the images, even by an experienced radiologist. Moreover, the most widely used response criteria in clinical practice and therapeutic trials rely on linear measurements of enhancing tumour and are further challenged by the irregular shape and heterogeneous composition of gliomas. This contributes to the poor correlation of these criteria with hard clinical endpoints. While conventional MRI is widely available and provides essential anatomical information, the lack of pathology-specific biomarkers available from standard MRI sequences and methods of image analysis used limit overall diagnostic and prognostic efficacy of the examination. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
