We retrospectively analyzed data from 634 patients treated for glioblastoma at a single brain tumor center over a 5-year period (2017-2021). The mean age was 56 ± 13 years. 372/634 (59%) patients were male, and 262/634 (41%) patients were female. Study data consisted of 3,403 brain MRI exams and corresponding standardized, radiologist-based brain tumor response assessments (BT-RADS). An artificial intelligence (AI)-based brain tumor response assessment (AI-VTRA) algorithm was developed using automated, volumetric tumor segmentation. AI-VTRA results were evaluated for agreement with radiologist-based response assessments and ability to stratify patients by overall survival. Metrics were computed to assess the agreement using BT-RADS as the ground-truth, fixed-time point survival analysis was conducted to evaluate the survival stratification, and associated P-values were calculated. For all BT-RADS categories, AI-VTRA showed moderate agreement with radiologist response assessments (F1 = 0.587-0.755). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed statistically worse overall fixed time point survival for patients assessed as image worsening equivalent to RANO progression by human alone compared to by AI alone (log-rank <i>P</i> = .007). Cox proportional hazard model analysis showed a disadvantage to AI-based assessments for overall survival prediction (<i>P</i> = .012). In summary, our proposed AI-VTRA, following BT-RADS criteria, yielded moderate agreement for replicating human response assessments and slightly worse stratification by overall survival.</p>","PeriodicalId":93863,"journal":{"name":"AJNR.
