Post-Surgery Glioma Growth Modeling from Magnetic Resonance Images for Patients with Treatment

Abstract Reaction diffusion is the most common growth modelling methodology due to its simplicity and consistency with the biological tumor growth process. However, current extensions of the reaction diffusion model lack one or more of the following: efficient inclusion of treatments’ effects, takin...
