Abstract

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Advanced imaging analysis for the prediction of tumor biology and modelling of clinically relevant parameters using computed imaging features is part of the emerging field of radiomics research. Here we test the hypothesis that a machine learning approach can distinguish grade 1 from higher gradings in meningioma patients using radiomics features derived from a heterogenous multicenter dataset of multi-paramedic MRI.
