Characterization of intra-tumour subregions in diffuse gliomas helps to guide biopsy procedure and to determine extent of tumour infiltration in the brain tissues. Conventional MRI cannot accurately differentiate intra-tumour subregions, including the most active tumour component and infiltrated edema (IE) from each other and from the normal tissue (NT). In this work, we explore the potential of differentiation of brain tumorous tissue subregions (tumour core, infiltrated edema, normal tissue, bone, and non-brain areas) based on 1H-MRS data using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques.
