Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred imaging modality for assessing tumor outcomes. Radiomics, an advanced imaging technique, assesses tumor heterogeneity and identifies predictive markers, offering a non-invasive alternative to biopsies. Machine learning (ML) based radiomics models enhances diagnostic and prognostic accuracy of tumors. Comprehensive review on ML-based radiomics models for predicting meningioma recurrence and survival are lacking.
