Deep Probabilistic Modeling of Glioma Growth
Existing approaches to modeling the dynamics of brain tumor growth, specifically glioma, employ biologically inspired models of cell diffusion, using image data to estimate the associated parameters. In this work, we propose an alternative approach based on recent advances in probabilistic segmentation and representation learning that implicitly learns growth dynamics directly from data without an underlying explicit model. We present evidence that our approach is able to learn a distribution of plausible future tumor appearances conditioned on past observations of the same tumor.

Treatment-aware Diffusion Probabilistic Model for Longitudinal MRI Generation and Diffuse Glioma Growth Prediction
Diffuse gliomas are malignant brain tumors that grow widespread through the brain. The complex interactions between neoplastic cells and normal tissue, as well as the treatment-induced changes often encountered, make gli…

A multiscale model for glioma spread in brain tissue under the influence of vascularization and vascular endothelial growth factors is proposed. It accounts for the interplay between the different components of the neopl…
Deep learning-based auto-segmentation of paraganglioma for growth monitoring
Volume measurement of a paraganglioma (a rare neuroendocrine tumor that typically forms along major blood vessels and nerve pathways in the head and neck region) is crucial for monitoring and modeling tumor growth in the…

Glioma growth may be quantified with longitudinal image registration. However, the large mass-effects and tissue changes across images pose an added challenge. Here, we propose a longitudinal, learning-based, and groupwi…
