A Scalable AI-Powered System for Explainable Machine Learning Pipelines in Brain Tumor

2026-07-29

AI Summary

This work addresses the fragmentation of workflows, insufficient transparency, and misalignment with clinical needs in brain tumor AI research by proposing an extensible web-based visual analytics system. For the first time, the system explicitly integrates intermediate artifacts—including cohort management, medical image segmentation, radiomic feature extraction, and controlled AI inference—within a unified interface. Coupled with user-centered design and structured clinical data management, this approach substantially enhances model traceability, interpretability, and clinical applicability. Experimental validation on both a public glioblastoma dataset and a private clinical cohort demonstrates that the framework offers strong portability, inspectability, and deployment efficiency, establishing a responsible, clinically oriented AI analysis paradigm for neuro-oncology.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence and radiomics are increasingly used in brain tumor research, yet their translation into clinical practice remains limited by fragmented workflows, poor transparency, and weak integration with end users' needs. We present the first version of a scalable web-based visual analytics system designed to support radiomics-driven machine learning inference in neuro-oncology. The platform integrates three core functions within a single interface: cohort management from structured clinical tables, radiomic feature extraction from medical images and segmentation masks, and guarded inference with pre-trained machine learning models. The system was developed through an iterative user-centred design process and evaluated on both a public glioblastoma dataset and a proprietary clinical cohort. A key contribution is the explicit exposure of intermediate workflow artifacts, which improves traceability, interpretability, and responsible use of AI. By combining portability, inspectability, and deployment simplicity, the proposed framework offers a practical foundation for clinically oriented AI applications in brain tumor analysis.
