Brief Summary  

The most commonly used imaging modalities in neuro-oncological surgery today are the structural magnetic resonance imaging and the task-based functional magnetic imaging, with the resting-state functional magnetic imaging being less commonly used. However, the latter is in many ways more efficient than the former. 


We aim to utilize a resting-state connectomics approach augmented by machine learning, as mentioned below for space occupying lesions. This machine learning-augmented connectomics approach will minimize the risk of resecting functional networks during surgery and improve patient outcomes post-operation.


  1. To supplement the use of task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging by using resting-state fMRI which utilises  machine learning-generated brain masks. 

Our machine learning has been trained, on 1200 datasets obtained from the Human Connectome Project, to not only build both task-positive and task-negative networks from preexisting HCP datasets, but also to use those datasets to derive these networks from the patients’ brains. These activations will be validated against those from a task-based functional magnetic imaging for language and motor networks.


  1. To quantify the extent of network and midline shift in the brain due to mass effect of space occupying lesion.
