Realistic simulation of the 3-D growth of brain tumors in MR images coupling diffusion with biomechanical deformation

Realistic simulation of the 3-D growth of brain tumors in MR images coupling diffusion with biomechanical deformation

We propose a new model to simulate the three-dimensional (3-D) growth of glioblastomas multiforma (GBMs), the most aggressive glial tumors. The GBM speed of growth depends on the invaded tissue: faster in white than in gray matter, it is stopped by the dura or the ventricles. These different structures are …
