Traditional Machine Learning Methods versus Deep Learning for Meningioma Classification, Grading, Outcome Prediction, and Segmentation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

BACKGROUND: Meningiomas are common intracranial tumors. Machine learning (ML) algorithms are emerging to improve accuracy in 4 primary domains: classification, grading, outcome prediction, and segmentation. Such algorithms include both traditional approaches that rely on hand-crafted features and deep learning (DL) techniques that utilize automatic feature extraction. The aim of this study was to ...

Preoperative Discrimination of CDKN2A/B Homozygous Deletion Status in Isocitrate Dehydrogenase-Mutant Astrocytoma: A Deep Learning-Based Radiomics Model Using MRI.

BACKGROUND: Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A/B (CDKN2A/B) homozygous deletion has been verified as an independent and critical biomarker of negative prognosis and short survival in isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant astrocytoma. Therefore, noninvasive and accurate discrimination of CDKN2A/B homozygous deletion status is essential for the clinical management of IDH-mutant astrocytoma patient...
