Objective. Current radiotherapy guidelines for glioma target volume definition recommend a uniform margin expansion from the gross tumor volume (GTV) to the clinical target volume …
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 …
Biophysical modeling of brain tumors has emerged as a promising strategy for personalizing radiotherapy planning by estimating the otherwise hidden distribution of tumor cells within …
Purpose: High-grade glioma (HGG) is a common form of malignant primary brain cancer with poor prognosis. The diffusive nature of HGGs implies that tumor cell invasion of normal …
High-grade gliomas (HGGs) are a type of malignant brain cancer, which include glioblastomas (GBMs). In adults, GBM is the most common malignant primary brain cancer …

The definition of the clinical target volume can be considered as a binary mask. However, the further a point is from the gross target volume, the less probability it has of being …
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 …
