Research Status of Magnetic Resonance-based Radiomics to Identify High-grade Gliomas and B rain Metastases
High-grade glioma(HGG)and brain metastases(BM)are the most common types of brain tumors in adults,the treatment and management measures of the two tumors are different,and due to the similarity of the imaging characteristics of the two,how to quickly and reliably determine the preliminary characteristics of the tumor has a significant impact on clinical diagnosis.Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI)contains a lot of anatomical feature information,but because HGB and BM have many similarities in magnetic resonance images,MRI cannot accurately distinguish between HGB and BM.MRI can mine and analyze tumor heterogeneity through machine learning algorithms and radiomics,which can significantly improve the accuracy of MRI to distinguish between HGB and BM,and then be used for clinical differential diagnosis of malignant brain tumor patients and formulation of patient treatment plans,while avoiding the need for invasive tissue sampling,reducing the damage of patients'brain tissue,and improving patients'sense of diagnosis and treatment experience,which has good research prospects and clinical practice guiding significance.This paper briefly reviews the research progress of MRI-based radiomics to distinguish high-grade gliomas and brain metastases.
