A new computational model to predict patient-specific growth of glioblastoma multiforme
Researchers at the University of Waterloo and the University of Toronto have developed a new computational model to predict the growth of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) more accurately. The proliferation-invasion (PI) model is a mathematical model commonly used to describe the growth of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). It relies on known values of two key parameters, the…

Artificial Intelligence app to predict meningioma survival
Researchers recently published a study that shows proof of concept for how artificial intelligence can help doctors and brain tumor patients predicting survival and help make better treatment decisions. This study is published in Nature partner journal Digital Medicine. They also developed an open-source smartphone app meningioma.app to allow clinicians and other researchers to interactively…

Stimulated Raman Histology and Machine learning provides an alternative approach in brain tumor diagnosis
The study published in Nature Medicine examined the diagnostic accuracy of brain tumor image classification through artificial intelligence tool, compared with the accuracy of pathologist interpretation of conventional histologic images. The results for both methods were comparable: the artificial intelligence based diagnosis was 94.6% accurate, compared with 93.9% for the traditional pathologist-based assessment and interpretation.…
