Over the last years, the amount, variety, and complexity of neuroimaging data acquired in patients with brain tumors for routine clinical purposes and the resulting number of imaging parameters have substantially increased. Consequently, a timely and...
PURPOSE: While neural networks gain popularity in medical research, attempts to make the decisions of a model explainable are often only made towards the end of the development process once a high predictive accuracy has been achieved.
MOTIVATION: Brain or central nervous system cancer is the tenth leading cause of death in men and women. Even though brain tumour is not considered as the primary cause of mortality worldwide, 40% of other types of cancer (such as lung or breast canc...
Glioblastoma is a heterogeneous lethal disease, regulated by a stem-cell hierarchy and the neurotransmitter microenvironment. The identification of chemotherapies targeting individual cancer stem cells is a clinical need. A robotic workstation was ...

BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and amino acid positron-emission tomography (PET) of the brain contain a vast amount of structural and functional information that can be analyzed by machine learning algorithms and radiomics for the use o...
BACKGROUND: Automated brain tumor segmentation methods are computational algorithms that yield tumor delineation from, in this case, multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We present an automated segmentation method and its results for resectio...

PURPOSE: Gliomas are the most common and aggressive type of brain tumors due to their infiltrative nature and rapid progression. The process of distinguishing tumor boundaries from healthy cells is still a challenging task in the clinical routine. Fl...
In this paper, we present a new Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) dedicated to fully automatic segmentation of Glioblastoma brain tumors with high- and low-grade. The proposed CNNs model is inspired by the Occipito-Temporal pathway which has ...
Gliomas are the most common malignant brain tumors with different grades that highly determine the rate of survival in patients. Tumor segmentation and grading using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are common and essential for diagnosis and treatmen...
