          This paper presents integration of multimodal MR image 
						based texture analysis which take advantage of 
						complementary information derived from structural and 
						diffusion MR images. A supervised machine learning 
						approach is used to achieve image analysis based on 
						textural features from individual image types of T2, 
						T1-post contrast and ADC, as well their combination, in 
						order to characterize the multicenter dataset of the 
						most common pediatric brain tumors; medulloblastomas 
						(MB), pilocytic astrocytomas (PA), and ependymomas (EP).
