Abstract

BACKGROUND: Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mpMRI) is the gold standard for diagnosing brain tumors, especially gliomas, which are difficult to segment due to their heterogeneity and varied sub-regions. While manual segmentation is time-consuming and error-prone, Deep Learning (DL) automates the process with greater accuracy and speed.
