Title
A Coupled Modified Reaction Diffusion and Biomechanical Models for Cerebral Tumor Growth Modeling in Presence of Treatment.
Abstract
Tumor growth modeling at macroscopic level from multimodal images can help in predicting the future evolution of tumor and the treatment planning. This can be achieved using mathematical models where multi time-point images are available. In this paper, we propose a coupled modified reaction diffusion model that measures tumor invasion and infiltration with biomechanical model to consider tumor mass effect. In addition, our model considers treatment effects from radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy if any. The chemotherapy effect is included via a modified log-kill method to consider tissue heterogeneity while radiotherapy effect is considered using the linear quadratic model. We test the proposed model on both synthetic and 6 real datasets of low grade glioma cases with and without treatments. Experimental results of the proposed model on the clinical magnetic resonance images show that our model can simulate the tumor growth with good accuracy and effectively include the treatment effects.
