Fully Automatic Calibration of Tumor-Growth Models Using a Single mpMRI Scan

We present preliminary results that suggest improved accuracy for prediction of patient overall survival when a set of imaging features is augmented with estimated biophysical parameters. All extracted features, tumor initial positions, and biophysical growth parameters are made publicly available for further analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first fully automatic scheme that can handle multifocal tumors and can localize the TIL to a few millimeters.
