Prediction of IDH Mutation Status of Gliomas Using Pre-operative MR Images: a Fully Automatic Convolutional Neural Networks Based Approach.

Using an automated method of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), we aimed to predict the IDH mutation status of gliomas from conventional preoperative MRI in this study. We conclude that the Markov Random Field-U-Net network can accurately segment the tumor region. Using a modified 34-layer Resnet network, we were subsequently able to predict IDH mutation status effectively. Consequently, the model has the potential to be utilized more broadly as a practical tool with reproducibility, this model has the potential to be a practical tool for the non-invasive characterization of gliomas to help the individualized treatment planning.
