• Differentiating adult PAs from HGGs is challenging because PAs may manifest a large spectrum of imaging presentations, often including aggressive imaging features. • The fully automatic combined clinical and radiomics model showed a significantly higher performance than the clinical model or humans. • The model explanation by SHAP suggested that second-order features from T2-weighted imaging were important in diagnosis and might reflect the underlying pathophysiology that PAs have lesser tissue heterogeneity than HGGs.
