Tumor Progression Mapping as Intuitive Visualization of
Glioblastoma Progression in MR Follow-ups: Describes the
construction of progression maps which provide an
intuitive and compact visualization of the complex
evolution of glioblastomas over time. This reduces the
complexity of 4D data in a way that supports
radiologists in their clinical routine of retracing
changes in brain tissue over time which are caused by
several complex interactions such as treatment, edema
and tumor growth. Furthermore, these maps may aid
radiologists to recognize subtle growth patterns that
can be easily overlooked
