Central nervous system (CNS) tumors come with the vastly heterogeneous histologic, molecular and radiographic landscape, rendering their precise characterization challenging. The rapidly growing fields of biophysical modeling and radiomics have shown promise in better characterizing the molecular, spatial, and temporal heterogeneity of tumors. Integrative analysis of CNS tumors, including clinically-acquired multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and the inverse problem of calibrating biophysical models to mpMRI data, assists in identifying macroscopic quantifiable tumor patterns of invasion and proliferation, potentially leading to improved (i) detection/segmentation of tumor sub-regions, and (ii) computer-aided diagnostic/prognostic/predictive modeling. This paper presents a summary of (i) biophysical growth modeling and simulation, (ii) inverse problems for model calibration, (iii) their integration with imaging workflows, and (iv) their application on clinically-relevant studies. We anticipate that such quantitative integrative analysis may even be beneficial in a future revision of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification for CNS tumors, ultimately improving patient survival prospects.
ANDy , Activity Networks with Delays, is a discrete time framework aimed at the qualitative modelling of time-dependent activities. The modular and concise syntax makes ANDy suitable for an easy and natural modelling of time-dependent biological syst
{mu}Manager, an open-source microscopy acquisition software, has been an essential tool for many microscopy experiments over the past 15 years, but is not easy to use for experiments in which image acquisition and analysis are closely coupled. This i
The focus of pancreatic cancer research has been shifted from pancreatic cancer cells towards their microenvironment, involving pancreatic stellate cells that interact with cancer cells and influence tumor progression. To quantitatively understand th
Data analysis pipelines are known to be impacted by computational conditions, presumably due to the creation and propagation of numerical errors. While this process could play a major role in the current reproducibility crisis, the precise causes of
A resource selection function is a model of the likelihood that an available spatial unit will be used by an animal, given its resource value. But how do we appropriately define availability? Step-selection analysis deals with this problem at the sca
