AIM and Brain Tumors

Brain tumors are among the deadliest human cancers, and despite decades of intensive research the survival for many types of malignant primary brain tumors has not improved significantly. Since we continuously generate enormous amounts of clinical data of various modalities that help clinicians not only diagnose brain tumors, but also monitor, quantify, and assess the treatment process, implementing data-driven approaches to analyze such complex data automatically is becoming extremely important. In this chapter, we review artificial intelligence (Al)-powered approaches for this task, and discuss how AI can bring value into the clinical setting through automating tedious data analysis tasks, and extracting information from medical data that may directly affect the treatment pathway.
