Impact of signal intensity normalization of MRI on the generalizability of radiomic-based prediction of molecular glioma subtypes.

• MRI-intensity normalization increases the stability of radiomics-based models and leads to better generalizability. • Intensity normalization did not appear relevant when the developed model was applied to homogeneous data from the same institution. • Radiomic-based machine learning algorithms are a promising approach for simultaneous classification of IDH and 1p/19q status of glioma.
