MP-MRI
signatures of cellularity, CYT, and ECF capture a modest degree of variance
using autopsy samples as ground truth, with stronger radio-pathomic
relationships observed in non-GBM patients than GBM patients.
Schematic representation of the study structure including A) data collection for MRI and tissue modalities and associated preprocessing, B) MR-histology coregistration, and C) mixed effect analysis structure
Mixed effect model results for cell density. The left-hand plots represent the first order models, whereas the right hand results represent the interaction between MR intensity and diagnosis, where blue = GBM and red = non-GBM.
