  • Using mathematics to predict brain tumor responses to therapy

    A model of an actual brain with a glioblastoma, printed from 3-D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and mathematical model predictions showing predicted tumor cell density bands from blue (less dense) to dark red (most dense). Typically, only the red and dark red regions are visible on an MRI scan.
