Accurate prognosis for high grade glioma (HGG) is of great clinical value since it would provide optimized guidelines for treatment planning. Previous imaging-based survival prediction generally relies on some features guided by clinical experiences, which limits the full utilization of biomedical image. In this paper, we propose a sparse representation-based radiomics framework to predict overall survival (OS) time of HGG. Firstly, we develop a patch-based sparse representation method to extract the high-throughput tumor texture features. Then, we propose to combine locality preserving projection and sparse representation to select discriminating features. Finally, we treat the OS time prediction as a classification task and apply sparse representation to classification. Experiment results show that, with 10-fold cross-validation, the proposed method achieves the accuracy of 94.83% and 95.69% by using T1 contrast-enhanced and T2 weighted magnetic resonance images, respectively.
