ReviewDiverse Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Neuroradiology.
Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL) hold promise to augment neuroimaging diagnosis for patients with brain tumors and stroke. Here, the authors review the diverse landscape of emerging neuroimaging applications of AI, including workflow optimization, lesion segmentation, and precision education. Given the many modalities used in diagnosing neurologic diseases, AI may be deployed to integrate across modalities (MR imaging, computed tomography, PET, electroencephalography, clinical and laboratory findings), facilitate crosstalk among specialists, and potentially improve diagnosis in patients with trauma, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and neurodegeneration. Together, there are myriad applications of AI for neuroradiology."

ReviewUpdates on Deep Learning and Glioma: Use of Convolutional Neural Networks to Image Glioma Heterogeneity.
Deep learning represents end-to-end machine learning in which feature selection from images and classification happen concurrently. This articles provides updates on how deep learning is being applied to the study of glioma and its genetic heterogeneity. Deep learning algorithms can detect patterns in routine and advanced MR imaging that elude the eyes of neuroradiologists and make predictions about glioma genetics, which impact diagnosis, treatment response, patient management, and long-term survival. The success of these deep learning initiatives may enhance the performance of neuroradiologists and add greater value to patient care by expediting treatment.
