We used multi-parametric MRI to predict the postoperative recurrence of meningioma. Compared to the usual radiomics on analyzing the whole tumor, we used an unsupervised clustering method to explore the tumor habitats. Interpretable features were extracted from subregions of the lesion and used to build a habitat radiomic model. The habitat model achieved an AUC of 0.711 compared with 0.569 achieved by whole tumor analysis. The split subregions of the tumor also have clear biological meanings to the radiologists.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
