DIPG-37. PREDICTING OUTCOME IN CHILDHOOD DIFFUSE MIDLINE GLIOMAS USING MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING BASED TEXTURE ANALYSIS

BACKGROUND Diffuse midline gliomas (DMG) are aggressive brain tumours with 10% overall survival (OS) at 18 months. Predicting OS will help refine treatment strategy in this patient group. MRI based texture analysis (MRTA) is a novel technique that provides objective information about spatial arrangement of MRI signal intensity and has potential as an imaging biomarker. OBJECTIVES: To investigate MRTA in predicting OS in childhood DMG. METHODS...
