Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for segmenting a brain tumor from various MRI sequencing techniques. A plurality of MRI sequences of a head of a patient are received. Each MRI sequence includes a T1-weighted with contrast image, a Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) image, a T1-weighted image, and a T2-weighted image. Each image of the plurality of MRI sequences is registered to an anatomical atlas. A plurality of modified MRI sequences are generated by removing a skull from each image in the plurality of MRI sequences. A tumor segmentation map is determined by segmenting a tumor within a brain in each image in the plurality of modified MRI sequences. The tumor segmentation map is applied to each of the plurality of MRI sequences to thereby generate a plurality of labelled MRI sequences.
