Abstract

BACKGROUND: Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumours and constitute approximately half of all malignant glioblastomas. Unfortunately, patients diagnosed with malignant glioblastomas typically survive for less than a year. In light of this circumstance, genotyping is an effective means of categorising gliomas. The Ki67 proliferation index, a widely used marker of cellular proliferation in clinical contexts, has demonstrated potential for predicting tumour classification and prognosis. In particular, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a vital role in the diagnosis of brain tumours. Using MRI to extract glioma-related features and construct a machine learning model offers a viable avenue to classify and predict the level of Ki67 expression.
