Classification of glioblastoma versus primary central nervous system lymphoma using convolutional neural networks

Abstract A subset of primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSL) are difficult to distinguish from glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We developed a convolutional neural network (CNN) to distinguish these tumors on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images. Preoperati...
