PURPOSE: To assess the performance of texture analysis of conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps in predicting IDH1 status in high-grade gliomas (HGG).
BACKGROUND AND AIM: In deep learning, the sigmoid function is unsuccessfully used for the multiclass classification of the brain tumour due to its limit of binary classification. This study aims to increase the classification accuracy by reducing the...

Computer aided diagnostic (CAD) has become a significant tool in expanding patient quality-of-life by reducing human errors in diagnosis. CAD can expedite decision-making on complex clinical data automatically. Since brain diseases can be fatal, rapi...
BACKGROUND: Significant amounts of health data are stored as free-text within clinical reports, letters, discharge summaries and notes. Busy clinicians have limited time to read such large amounts of free-text and are at risk of information overload ...
BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive primary brain tumor. Currently, the suggested line of action is the surgical resection followed by radiotherapy and treatment with the adjuvant temozolomide, a DNA alkylating agent. However, the a...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the potential value of the machine learning (ML)-based MRI texture analysis for predicting 1p/19q codeletion status of lower-grade gliomas (LGG), using various state-of-the-art ML algorithms.
Brain tumor is one of the most death defying diseases nowadays. The tumor contains a cluster of abnormal cells grouped around the inner portion of human brain. It affects the brain by squeezing/ damaging healthy tissues. It also amplifies intra crani...

The identification of high-grade glioma (HGG) progression may pose a diagnostic dilemma due to similar appearances of treatment-related changes (TRC) (e.g. pseudoprogression or radionecrosis). Deep learning (DL) may be able to assist with this task. ...
Super-resolution, which is one of the trend issues of recent times, increases the resolution of the images to higher levels. Increasing the resolution of a vital image in terms of the information it contains such as brain magnetic resonance image (MR...
