nowadays brain tumors remain as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality and are often treatment refractory. the grading of brain tumor has an important implication in clinical management. currently, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (mrs) is an important modality in evaluating and grading brain tumors. the aim of this study is  evaluation of metabolites in the differentiation of brain tumo...

Medical Image segmentation is to partition the image into a set of regions that are visually obvious and consistent with respect to some properties such as gray level, texture or color. Brain tumor classification is an imperative and difficult task in cancer radiotherapy. The objective of this research is to examine the use of pattern classification methods for distinguishing different types of...

Glioblastoma is one of the most common primary brain tumors (80% of patients) that has a poor prognosis due to malignancy. Glioblastoma has an annual incidence of 5.26 per 100 000 population or 17 000 new diagnoses per year and so as the population aging, the number of patients is expected to increase. There is a growing body of literature investigating the tumor microenvironmenta...

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare cancer that confined to the brain, spinal cord, leptomeninges and eyes. The origin of this type of lymphoma is often type B lymphocytes, and because the central nervous system (CNS) has no lymph nodes or lymphatic vessels, the cause of PCNSL is still uncertain (1). But its source appears to be from lymphocytes located in the CNS (2). Thi...

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is one of the rarest vascular tumor found in brain. In pediatric group patients, proportion EHE only 0.02% all brain neoplasms, and therefore oncogenesis causes are currently not well understood. Intracranial localization extremely rare, nevertheless, this type neoplasm should be included differential diagnostic series when multiple small intracerebral mas...
