Gliomas, characterized by their invasive nature, unpredictable localization, and heterogeneous subregions, pose a substantial threat to public health. Accurate segmentation of glioma subregions within magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images is pivotal for the efficient planning of treatment and the prognostication of overall patient survival. This review examines recent advancements in glioma brain tumor segmentation (BTS) and overall survival (OS) prediction while addressing inherent biases and proposing innovative solutions. We explore the evolution of convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures, from traditional 2D CNNs to advanced 2.5D and 3D CNNs, which have greatly enhanced segmentation accuracy and efficiency. Furthermore, cutting-edge techniques for BTS, including attention mechanisms, ensemble methods, transformer-based models, and generative adversarial networks (GANs), are discussed. Additionally, we examine machine learning (ML) models for OS prediction, including support vector machines (SVM) and random forest regressors (RFRs), as well as pioneering methods such as radiomics-based approaches, consensus-based classifiers, and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). By comparing different preprocessing techniques, model architectures, data sources, and evaluation metrics, we identify the most effective methods and emphasize the importance of collaboration in developing reliable prognostic tools. By consolidating current research, this paper advances ongoing investigations and offers a visionary path for future studies, providing guidance to healthcare stakeholders for refining patient care strategies in glioma management.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55473,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Computational Methods in Engineering","volume":"32 3","pages":"1525 - 1569"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143769828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early detection of heart disease enables individuals to adopt lifestyle changes or seek medical treatment. However, conventional diagnostic methods, such as electrocardiograms—commonly used in clinics and hospitals to detect abnormal heart rhythms—are not effective in identifying actual heart attacks. Additionally, angiography, while more precise, is an invasive method, financial strain on patients, and high chances of incorrect diagnosis, highlighting the need for alternative approaches.

Accurately predicting the conversion of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) -a potential early stage of AD- to AD is challenging due to the subtle distinctions between individuals who will develop AD and those who will not. As an increasing body of evidence in the literature suggests, advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, coupled with high-performance computing techniques and novel deep learning techniques, have revolutionized the ability to predict MCI to AD conversion. This study systematically reviewed the publications from 2013 to 2023 (July) to investigate the contribution of deep learning in predicting the MCI conversion to AD, concentrating on the MRI data (structural or functional) and clinical information. The search conducted across seven different databases yielded a total of 2273 studies.
