ReMIND: The Brain Resection Multimodal Imaging Database.

ABSTRACT: The standard of care for brain tumors is maximal safe surgical resection as the first step. Neuronavigation augments the surgeon's ability to achieve this but loses validity due to brain shift as surgery progresses. Moreover, many gliomas are difficult to distinguish from adjacent healthy brain tissue. Intraoperative MRI (iMRI) is a useful surgical adjunct that can be used to visualize the residual tumor and brain shift. Intraoperative ultrasound (iUS) serves a similar purpose, while also being faster and easier to incorporate into the workflow. However, it provides lower contrast between tumor tissue and normal brain tissue as compared to intraoperative MRI. With the success of data-hungry Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML) algorithms in advancing the state of the art in m
