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).
