Delineation of invasive tumor from peritumoral edematous tissue remains a major obstacle to glioma treatment. To address this problem, a neural network was trained to distinguish between these regions using biopsies paired with colocalized MRI inputs. In addition to histologically confirmed biopsies, virtual biopsies sampled from non-contrast enhancing, FLAIR enhancing regions of non-invasive tumors (meningioma, metastasis) were used with an assumed classification of “non-tumor”. The current work is a preliminary assessment of this assumption and it's impact on model performance.
