Article Abstract
Pediatric tumors of the central nervous system are the most common cause of cancer-related death in children. The five-year survival rate for high-grade gliomas in children is less than 20%. Due to their rarity, the diagnosis of these entities is often delayed, their treatment is mainly based on historic treatment concepts, and clinical trials require multi-institutional collaborations. The MICCAI Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) Challenge is a landmark community benchmark event with a successful history of 12 years of resource creation for the segmentation and analysis of adult glioma. Here we present the CBTN-CONNECT-DIPGR-ASNR-MICCAI BraTS-PEDs 2023 challenge, which represents the first BraTS challenge focused on pediatric brain tumors with data acquired across multiple international consortia dedicated to pediatric neuro-oncology and clinical trials. The BraTS-PEDs 2023 challenge focuses on benchmarking the development of volumentric segmentation algorithms for pediatric brain glioma through standardized quantitative performance evaluation metrics utilized across the BraTS 2023 cluster of challenges. Models gaining knowledge from the BraTS-PEDs multi-parametric structural MRI (mpMRI) training data will be evaluated on separate validation and unseen test mpMRI dataof high-grade pediatric glioma. The CBTN-CONNECT-DIPGR-ASNR-MICCAI BraTS-PEDs 2023 challenge brings together clinicians and AI/imaging scientists to lead to faster development of automated segmentation techniques that could benefit clinical trials, and ultimately the care of children with brain tumors.

Brain Tumor Segmentation (BTS) is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, but existing CNN and Transformer-based methods often struggle with feature fusion and limited training data. While recent large-scale vision models like Segment Anything Model (SAM) and CLIP offer potential, SAM is trained on natural images, lacking medical domain knowledge, and its decoder struggles with accurate tumor segmentation. To address these challenges, we propose the Medical SAM-Clip Grafting Network (MSCG), which introduces a novel SC-grafting module.

Gliomas are known to have different sub-regions within the tumor, including the edema, necrotic, and active tumor regions. Segmenting of these regions is very important for glioma treatment decisions and management. This paper aims to demonstrate the application of U-Net and pre-trained U-Net backbone networks in glioma semantic segmentation, utilizing different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image weights.

Most existing federated learning (FL) methods for medical image analysis only considered intramodal heterogeneity, limiting their applicability to multimodal imaging applications. In practice, some FL participants may possess only a subset of the complete imaging modalities, posing intermodal heterogeneity as a challenge to effectively training a global model on all participants' data. Meanwhile, each participant expects a personalized model tailored to its local data characteristics in FL.

Background/objectives: Accurate diagnosis of brain tumors is one of the most important challenges in neuro-oncology since tumor classification and volumetric segmentation inform treatment planning. Two-dimensional classification and three-dimensional segmentation deep learning models can augment radiological workflows, particularly if paired with explainable AI techniques to improve model interpretability. The objective of this research was to develop a web-based brain tumor segmentation and classification diagnosis platform.

Accurate and automated segmentation of gliomas from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is crucial for effective diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient monitoring. However, the aggressive nature and morphological complexity of these tumors pose significant challenges that call for advanced segmentation techniques. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of Deep Learning (DL) methods for glioma segmentation, with a specific focus on bridging the gap between research performance and practical clinical deployment.
