N2 - In this work, we developed multiple 2D and 3D segmentation models with multiresolution input to segment brain tumor components and then ensembled them to obtain robust segmentation maps. Ensembling reduced overfitting and resulted in a more generalized model. Multiparametric MR images of 335 subjects from the BRATS 2019 challenge were used for training the models. Further, we tested a classical machine learning algorithm with features extracted from the segmentation maps to classify subject survival range. Preliminary results on the BRATS 2019 validation dataset demonstrated excellent performance with DICE scores of 0.898, 0.784, 0.779 for the whole tumor (WT), tumor core (TC), and enhancing tumor (ET), respectively and an accuracy of 34.5% for predicting survival. The Ensemble of multiresolution 2D networks achieved 88.75%, 83.28% and 79.34% dice for WT, TC, and ET respectively in a test dataset of 166 subjects.
