5. Morphologic MRI Features of Brain Glioblastoma: Predictive Statistical Model for Heterogeneity and Spread
Brain Glioblastomas (GBM) have poor prognosis. The anatomic changes with time is not predictable. In this project we are working to statistically model the shape and intensity fluctuations that may offer additional insight into the direction or extent of spread of cancer cellularity. If the cancer growth model can be correlated with the tissue signal heterogeneity then radiation planning may be more effective. Based on a group of patient GBM features post imaging analysis are being performed with key morphologic feature extraction. This work compares geometrical features of GBM for several patients utilizing intensity fluctuations from MR imaging with contrast, morphology of abnormal perfusion in various lesions and heterogeneity within lesions as reflected in statistical changes with serial GBM treatment.
