Methoden zur numerischen Simulation der Progression von Gliomen

Andreas Mang is engaged in the numerical simulation of the progression of primary brain tumors, specifically gliomas. The author describes methods for large-scale modeling of the spread of tumor cells based on a differential equation. He presents a novel approach for the approximate modeling of tumor-induced tissue deformation for non-rigid image registration based on a variational optimization problem. Another focus of his work is the inverse problem of parameter identification using neuroradiological image data.
