Forecasting tumor and vasculature response dynamics to radiation therapy via image based mathematical modeling

Abstract Background Intra-and inter-tumoral heterogeneity in growth dynamics and vascularity influence tumor response to radiation therapy. Quantitative imaging techniques capture these dynamics non-invasively, and these data can initialize and constrain predictive models of response on an individua...
