Texture feature differentiation of glioblastoma and solitary brain metastases based on tumor and tumor-brain interface

Texture features, derived from both the entire tumor area and the region of the tumor-to-brain interface, are crucial indicators for distinguishing tumor types and their degrees of malignancy. However, the discriminative value of texture features from both regions for identifying glioblastomas and metastatic tumors has not been thoroughly explored. The aim of this study is to develop and validate a diagnostic model that combines texture features from the entire tumor area and a 10 mm tumor-to-brain interface region, in an attempt to identify more stable and effective texture features.
