The accuracy of grading astrocytic brain tumors using texture analysis (TA) on quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) was studied. For texture analysis training data set, most discriminant factor (MDF1) values were significantly different for low grade and high grade astrocytomas (p<0.01), as well as Grade II and III, Grade II and IV, Grade III and IV (p<0.01). For texture analysis test data set, 19/20 cases in differentiating low grade from high grade astrocytomas, 16/20 cases in Grade II, III and IV differentiation were correctly classified. TA promises to be a useful tool for grading astrocytoma on QSM.
