Abstract

A Feature Selection process with Single-Layer Perceptrons is shown to provide optimum discrimination of an international, multi-centre 1H-MRS database of brain tumors at reasonable computational cost. Results are both intuitively interpretable and very accurate. The method remains simple enough as to allow its easy integration in existing medical decision support systems.
