Abstract

PURPOSE: Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) and telomerase reverse transcriptase gene promoter (TERTp) mutations play crucial roles in glioma biology. Such genetic information is typically obtained invasively from excised tumor tissue; however, these mutations need to be identified preoperatively for better treatment planning. The relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) information derived from dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI (DSC-MRI) has been demonstrated to correlate with tumor vascularity, functionality, and biology, and might provide some information about the genetic alterations in gliomas before surgery. Therefore, this study aims to predict IDH and TERTp mutational subgroups in gliomas using deep learning applied to rCBV images.
