We report the rare occurrence of an opticochiasmatic glioblastoma multiforme 6 years following conventional radiotherapy for Cushing's disease. This article highlights the risks of collateral damage to the optic apparatus when irradiating the sellar region.

In this chapter, we discuss two possible ways of improving the performance of the SVM, using geometric methods. The first adapts the kernel by magnifying the Riemannian metric in the neighborhood of the boundary, thereby increasing separation between the classes. The second method is concerned with optimal location of the separating boundary, given that the distributions of data on either side ...

BACKGROUND Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common and most aggressive type of primary brain tumor, accounting for 52% of all primary brain tumor cases and 20% of all intracranial tumors. Recently, evidence for a viral cause has been postulated, possibly SV40 or more likely cytomegalovirus (CMV). One report indicated that 80% of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme have dete...

EYE DETECTION USING DISCRIMINATORY FEATURES AND AN EFFICIENT SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE

Differentiating lymphomas and glioblastomas is important for proper treatment planning. A number of works have been proposed but there are still some problems. For example, many works depend on thresholding a single feature value, which is susceptible to noise. In other cases, experienced observers are required to extract the feature values or to provide some interactions with the system. Even ...
