Pseudoprogression (PsP) refers to treatment-related clinico-radiologic changes mimicking true progression (TP) that occurs in patients with glioblastoma (GBM), predominantly within the first 6 months after the completion of surgery and concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) with temozolomide. Accurate differentiation of TP from PsP is essential for making informed decisions on appropriate therapeutic intervention as well as for prognostication of these patients. Conventional neuroimaging findings are often equivocal in distinguishing between TP and PsP and present a considerable diagnostic dilemma to oncologists and radiologists.These challenges have emphasized the need for developing alternative imaging techniques that may aid in the accurate diagnosis of TP and PsP. In this review, we encapsulate the current state of knowledge in the clinical applications of commonly used metabolic and physiologic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques such as diffusion and perfusion imaging and proton spectroscopy in distinguishing TP from PsP. We also showcase the potential of promising imaging techniques, such as amide proton transfer and amino acid-based positron emission tomography, in providing useful information about the treatment response. Additionally, we highlight the role of "radiomics", which is an emerging field of radiology that has the potential to change the way in which advanced MR techniques are utilized in assessing treatment response in GBM patients. Finally, we present our institutional experiences and discuss future perspectives on the role of multiparametric MR imaging in identifying
