At present, an adequate therapy planning of newly detected brain tumors needs invasive biopsy due to the fact that prognosis and treatment, both vary strongly for different tumor grades. To assist neuroradiologist experts during the differentiation between tumors of different malignancy a novel, efficient similarity search technique for uncertain data in combination with a technique for parameter-free outlier detection is proposed. Previous work is limited to axis-parallel Gaussian distributions, hence, correlations between different features are not considered in these similarity searches....
