description Abstract Recent progress in deep learning (DL) is producing a new generation of tools across numerous clinical applications. Within the analysis of brain tumors in magnetic resonance imaging, DL finds applications in tumor segmentation, quantification, and classification. It facilitates objective and reproducible measurements crucial for diagnosis, treatment planning, and disease monitoring. Furthermore, it holds the potential to pave the way for personalized medicine through the prediction of tumor type, grade, genetic mutations, and patient survival outcomes. In this review, we explore the transformative potential of DL for brain tumor care and discuss existing applications, limitations, and future directions and opportunities.
