Differentiation between non-enhancing tumor (NET) from vasogenic edema (VE) in glioma patients is difficult using conventional MRI parameters (CMP) such as FLAIR, T₂-W, T₁-W and PD-W as they appear similar in intensity in both the regions. T1 perfusion MRI parameters (T₁-PMP) have been found useful in differentiating between NET and VE previously. The work in this study shows that combining different CMP using a machine learning algorithm improves differentiation between NET and VE substantially over using any individual CMP. However, combination of T₁-PMP still performs slightly better than combination of CMP in differentiating NET from VE.
