Successful treatment outcome in complex ovarian masses
depends on their accurate characterization, for which
DCE- MRI has been shown to be promising. In this
setting, accurate selection of quantitative parameters
and classification approach could result in reliable
tumor differentiation. In this work, we exploit a
hierarchical clustering method for selection of the best
descriptive parameters in predicting the tumor
malignancy, and develop an optimal decision tree for
accurate classification of benign and malignant complex
ovarian cancers.
