Unlabelled: The future of contemporary neuroimaging does not solely lie in novel image-capturing technologies, but also in better methods for extraction of useful information from these images. Scientists see great promise in radiomics, i.e.

Unlabelled: Modern methodology of PET/CT quantitative analysis in patients with glioblastomas is not strictly standardized in clinic settings and does not exclude the influence of the human factor. Methods of radiomics may facilitate unification, and improve objectivity and efficiency of the medical image analysis. is to evaluate the potential of radiomics in the analysis of PET/CT glioblastoma images identifying the relationship between the radiomic features and the С-methionine tumor-to-normal brain uptake ratio (TNR) determined by an expert in routine.

Nowadays, the quantitative analysis of PET/CT data in patients with glioblastoma is not strictly standardized in the clinic and does not exclude the human factor. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the radiomic features of glioblastoma 11C-methionine PET images and the tumor-to-normal brain (T/N) ratio determined by radiologists in clinical routine. PET/CT data were obtained for 40 patients (mean age 55 ± 12 years; 77.

Unlabelled: Gliomas are the most common neuroepithelial brain tumors. The modern classification of tumors of central nervous system and treatment approaches are based on tissue and molecular features of a particular neoplasm. Today, histological and molecular genetic typing of tumors can only be carried out through invasive procedures.

Unlabelled: Intraoperative recording of cortico-cortical evoked potentials (CCEPs) enables studying effective connections between various functional areas of the cerebral cortex. The fundamental possibility of postoperative speech dysfunction prediction in neurosurgery based on CCEP signal variations could serve as a basis to develop the criteria for the physiological permissibility of intracerebral tumors removal for maximum preservation of the patients' quality of life. was to test the possibility of predicting postoperative speech disorders in patients with glial brain tumors by using the CCEP data recorded intraoperatively before the stage of tumor resection.
