Purpose Imaging features are known to reflect inherent disease biology in various cancers including brain tumors. We report on the prognostic impact of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features on survival in patients with medulloblastoma treated between 2007 and 2018 at our institute. Methods Sixteen semantic imaging features (with predefined categories) were extracted from pre- and postcontrast T1-weighted and T2-weighted MRI by consensus. Univariate analysis and multivariate Cox regression analysis were performed to assess the correlation of semantic features with relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). Results The study cohort comprised 171 medulloblastoma patients (median age 9 years) treated with maximal safe resection followed by risk-stratified adjuvant radio(chemo)therapy. A total of 55 patients experienced recurrent/progressive disease (commonly neuraxial metastases) resulting in 44 deaths, including one treatment-related death. At a median follow-up of 45 months (interquartile range 19-65 months), 5-year Kaplan-Meier estimates of RFS and OS were 64% and 71%, respectively. Semantic MRI features such as non-central tumor location on vertical axis, absence of brainstem involvement,
