Integrating muscle fiber orientation from visible human data into radiotherapy target volumes
Objective. A major challenge in treatment of tumors near skeletal muscle is defining the
target volume for suspected tumor invasion into the muscle. This study develops a …

Diffusion tensor transformation for personalizing target volumes in radiation therapy
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is used in tumor growth models to provide information on the
infiltration pathways of tumor cells into the surrounding brain tissue. When a patient-specific …

[HTML][HTML] Investigating the potential of diffusion tensor atlases to generate anisotropic clinical tumor volumes in glioblastoma patients
Background and purpose: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has been proposed to guide the
anisotropic expansion from gross tumor volume to clinical target volume (CTV), aiming to …

[PDF][PDF] Using fluid flow simulations to model microscopic tumor invasion in muscle tissue for radiotherapy treatment
A framework is developed to include the preferred path of microscopic tumor invasion along
muscle fibers in radiation target volumes. Following the novel idea that the directionality of …
