An Explainable Deep Model for Risk Scoring and Accurate Radionecrosis Identification Following Brain Metastasis Stereotactic Radiosurgery.
Conference Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys · June 1, 2026 PURPOSE: As survival improves for patients with brain metastases (BM), distinguishing local recurrence (LR) from radionecrosis (RN) is a growing neuro-oncologic challenge. We aimed to develop an explainable deep learning model to noninvasively distinguish ...

Journal article Neurooncol Pract · June 2026 BACKGROUND: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) remains the standard of care for brain metastases (BM), offering effective local control with fewer neurocognitive side effects. However, distinguishing radiation necrosis (RN) from local recurrence (LR) is chall ...

Journal article Med Phys · March 2026 BACKGROUND: Accurate segmentation of glioma subregions from multi-parametric MRI (MP-MRI) is critical for clinical management but remains challenging due to tumor heterogeneity and ambiguous tissue boundaries. PURPOSE: This study proposes an uncertainty-gu ... Full text Link to item CiteRecent Grants
