Multi-systems modeling

• Aims
  1. Growth of tumor
  2. Response of anatomy and pathology to therapy
     • Tumor
       • Ender Konocoglu
         • GBM
       • Variates
         • Weight loss
         • Tissue elasticity
         • Swelling
  3. Registration
     • • Also involves parameter optimization (growth model, etc.)
• Technologies for modeling and model fitting
  1. Sampling driving
  2. Kernel regression (independent variate = accumulated dose)
  3. EM
• Significance (DBP)
  1. Planning (George Chen's work)
     • Dynamic planning
     • Consider the heterogeneity of tumors
  2. Measure response
     • again, tumor heterogeneity
  3. Body parts of interest
     • Head and neck
     • Liver
  4. Imaging modalities of interest
     • MR Perfursion
     • PET
     • US
     • Imaging issues:
       • How can their information be used to drive and augment model formation?
       • How can their information be used to update a model?
