Consistency and grade prediction of intracranial meningiomas based on fractal geometry analysis.

ABSTRACT: Meningiomas are the most common primary tumors in the central nervous system. Surgical resection remains the main treatment option, often resulting in a curative outcome; however, careful preoperative planning is essential. One of the primary concerns for neurosurgeons treating meningiomas is tumor consistency, as this has a significantly impact on the likelihood of complete resection. Predicting the consistency and histology of a meningioma prior to surgery is valuable for selecting the appropriate surgical instruments and planning the approach. We conducted a retrospective study to analyze clinical data and preoperative MRI images of patients who underwent surgery for intracranial meningiomas. T1, T1c, T2, and FLAIR sequences were obtained for all patients. Surgical notes were reviewed t
