2Predict Tumour Growth
initial tumour
tumour 6 months later
- Why?
- Study tumour growth patterns
- Improve treatment planning

- Introduction
- Incremental Growth Modeling
- Features
- Models (UG, GW, CDM)
- Experiments
4Incremental Growth Model
- Iteratively assign each voxel around the active
tumour border to tumour vsnon-tumour - Stops at termination condition
- Reaching a specified size of tumour
- theres no more voxels to add
- Several Approaches

11Which New Voxels to Add
- UG Uniform Growth
- GW Growth based on tissue types
- CDM Classification-based diffusion
12Tumour growth modeling uniform diffusion (UG)
- Radial uniform growth
- (in all directions alike)
Original tumour
Final tumour volume
13Tumour growth modeling White vs. Grey matter
(GW)
- A 51 ratio for diffusion in white matter vs.
grey matter (Sawnson et al., 2000)
White matter
Grey matter
Original tumour
Final tumour volume
14Tumour growth modeling
- Uniform growth
- Yes!
- GW model
- If White matter Yes!
- If Grey matter 20
- CDM model
- Learn tumour growth pattern

- Correlation between age and glioma grade(more
aggressive tumours occur in older patients
benign tumours in children)

- A neighbourhood in 3D is the 6 voxels immediately
adjacent to some voxel v - (not including diagonal ones)

25Experimental Procedure
- Training data
- Sample of voxels in volume-difference between two
scans including 2-voxel border around the volume
at the 2nd time scan - Volume-pairs for 17 patients
- Total of ½ million voxels
- We evaluate voxels encountered in diffusion
process - Cross-validation (17 patients)

Additional tumour growth
26Tumour growth modeling CDM (wrt Neighbours)
- Voxel v becomes tumour based on
- Features epatient,etumour,ev
- Compute
- qv PT (class (v) tumour epatient,etumour,ev
) - Neighbours of voxel v
- If k tumour-voxel neighbours,probability that
voxel v becomes tumour - pv 1 (1 qv)k
- Decision
- Declare voxel v is tumour if pv ? 0.65
v1 v2 v6 v7 v5
v3 v4
v6,v7 k 0 v1,v2,v5 k 1 v3,v4 k 2

28Evaluation
- Precision, Recall
- for tumour, non-tumour voxels
-
-
- nt truth pt prediction Precision
Recall
29Diffusion Modeling Process
- We grow tumour from initial volume at 1st time
scan to size of tumour volume at 2nd time scan - Precision Recall
- because predicted volume ? truth volume
?
Tumour volume at 2nd time scan
Tumour at 1st time scan
30Results Model Comparison
31Results (Best case)
- GBM_7 CDM beats UG by 20 and GW by 12
Grew tumour along edema regions but didnt
predict other wing of butterfly
True positives False positives False negatives
32Results (Average case)
- GBM_1 CDM beats UG by 6 and GW by 8
Need a more accurate brain atlas
True positives False positives False negatives
33Results (Special case)
- GBM_10 CDM beats UG by 8 and GW by 2
Resection Recurrence
True positives False positives False negatives
34Results
CDM performs significantly better than UG and GW!
- T-test the probability that the means are not
significantly different - Paired data (same data sample different models)
- CDM vs UG p 0.001
- CDM vs GW p 0.001
- (UG vs GW p 0.034)
X is the mean Var the variance n the number of
samples
35Future work
- More expressive features
- Spectroscopy, DTI, genetic data
- Larger dataset (treatment effect)
- Brain atlas (highways vs. barriers)
36Conclusion
- Challenge
- Predicting how brain tumours will grow
- Answer
- Learned model CDM performs significantly better
than other existing models! - can improve with additional data
