In order to combine multiple modalities of MRI in preoperative cerebral glioma grading, a diagnosing tool based on Bayesian Network was developed to integrate features extracted from conventional MR imaging, perfusion weighted imaging and MR spectroscopic imaging. The structure of the network was determined in cooperation with experienced neuroradiologists and the parameters learned using EM (Expectation-Maximization) algorithm with the incomplete dataset of 52 clinical cases. The grading performance was evaluated in a leave-one-out analysis, achieving the highest grading accuracy of 88.24% with all the features observed.
