Automated classification of brain tumours from short echo time in vivo MRS data using Gaussian Decomposition and Bayesian Neural Networks

作者:

Highlights:

• The paper describes a method for brain tumour type discrimination from MRS signal.

• The method combines Gaussian Decomposition, dimensionality reduction and classification using Artificial Neural Networks.

• The experiments yield encouraging brain tumour classification results, a difficult task even for expert radiologists.
