    Fig 1.

    Visualization of computational image feature descriptors. A T1-weighted brain tumor section (A and B) is displayed, and feature visualizations (C–E) are given of LBP (C), HOG (D), and SIFT (E) descriptors. LBP quantifies local pixel structures through a binary coding scheme. HOG computes block-wise histogram gradients with multiple orientations. SIFT detects distributed key points with radius on tumor images. These multiparametric features create a rich image-driven data base to characterize tumors in MR imaging at different scales.

    Fig 2.

    Linking subregional imaging to molecular profiles in glioblastoma. In this example, tumor subregions (B) are defined by jointly clustering on contrast-enhanced T1WI and T2WI (A). These subregions correspond to red (high T1WI and high T2WI), yellow (high T1WI and low T2WI), blue (low T1WI and high T2WI), and pink (low T1WI and low T2WI) areas. The defined tumor subregions enable quantitative spatial characterization, offering a means to noninvasively assess specific molecular activities (C) with enriched molecular pathways (D).

    Fig 3.

    Illustration of the convolutional neural networks model using imaging and other biomedical data for brain tumor analysis. The convolutional neural networks model consists of multiple convolutional layers, pooling layers, and fully connected layers to learn an abstraction of the input data, such as imaging and clinical features for a variety of outcome evaluations.
