Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Precision medicine refers to managing brain tumors according to each patient's unique characteristics when it was realized that patients with the same type of tumor differ greatly in terms of survival, responsiveness to treatment, and toxicity of medication. Precision diagnostics can now be advanced through the establishment of imaging biomarkers, which necessitates quantitative image acquisition and processing. The VASARI (Visually AcceSAble Rembrandt Images) manual annotation methodology is an ideal and suitable way to determine the accurate association between genotype and imaging phenotype. Our work proposes an updated version of the VASARI score that is derived by changing the evaluation ranges of its components in an effort to increase the diagnostic accuracy of the VASARI manual annotation system and to find neuroimaging biomarkers in neuro-oncology with increasing reliability.
