RSNA names winners of brain tumor AI challenge

This year’s challenge featured two tasks. In the first task, participants built models that segment and classify brain tumors into clinically acquired multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) scans. This particular challenge was the culmination of Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) challenges conducted in conjunction with MICCAI over the last decade, according to the societies.

The second task involved using algorithms to utilize the same mpMRI scans to predict the status of MGMT promoter methylation — a radiogenomic marker that’s an important factor in the prognosis and…
