Meningiomas are the most prevalent benign intracranial tumors, and surgical intervention is the primary treatment. The physical characteristics of meningiomas, such as tumor stiffness or consistency, play a crucial role in the surgical approach. This...
BACKGROUND: Brain tumor is a grave illness causing worldwide fatalities. The current detection methods for brain tumors are manual, invasive, and rely on histopathological analysis. Determining the type of brain tumor after its detection relies on bi...
The volumetric assessment and accurate grading of meningiomas before surgery are highly relevant for therapy planning and prognosis prediction. This study was to design a deep learning algorithm and evaluate the performance in detecting meningioma le...
PURPOSE: Volumetric assessment of meningiomas represents a valuable tool for treatment planning and evaluation of tumor growth as it enables a more precise assessment of tumor size than conventional diameter methods. This study established a dedicate...
BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML)-based predictive models are increasingly common in neurosurgery, but typically require large databases of discrete variables for training. Natural language processing (NLP) can extract meaningful data from unstructur...
BACKGROUND: As artificial intelligence (AI) approaches in research increase and AI becomes more integrated into medicine, there is a need to understand perspectives from members of the Canadian public and medical community. The aim of this project wa...
Cancer is the second leading cause of death after cardiovascular diseases. Out of all types of cancer, brain cancer has the lowest survival rate. Brain tumors can have different types depending on their shape, texture, and location. Proper diagnosis ...
