Multiparametric Tissue Characterization of Bra Neoplasms and Their Recurrence Using Patte Classification of MR Images

Rationale and Objectives. Treatment of brain neoplasms can greatly benefit from better delineation of bulk neoplasm boundary and the extent and degree of more subtle neoplastic infiltration. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the mary imaging modality for evaluation before and after therapy, typically combining conventional sequences with mo advanced techniques such as perfusion-weighted imaging and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). The purpose of this st to quantify the multiparametric imaging profile of neoplasms by integrating structural MRI and DTI via statistical im analysis methods to potentially capture complex and subtle tissue characteristics that are not obvious from any indiv image or parameter.
