Glioblastoma (GBM) exhibits two principal growth phenotypes: infiltrative, characterized by diffuse invasion with minimal mass effect, and proliferative, characterized by pronounced tissue compression. Their quantitative delineation and…
The potential for augmenting the segmentation of brain tumors through the use of few-shot learning is vast. Although several deep learning networks (DNNs) demonstrate promising results in terms of segmentation, they require a substantial…
Glioblastoma is a highly aggressive and malignant brain tumor type that requires early diagnosis and prompt intervention. Due to its heterogeneity in appearance, developing automated detection approaches is challenging. To address this…
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most aggressive primary brain tumour, exhibits low survival rates due to its rapid growth, infiltrates surrounding brain tissue, and is highly resistant to treatment. One major challenge is oedema…
Brain tumors are abnormalities that can severely impact a patient's health, leading to life-threatening conditions such as cancer. These can result in various debilitating effects, including neurological issues, cognitive impairment, motor…
