Tracking the Adaptation and Compensation Processes of Patient's Brain Arterial Network to Evolving Glioblastoma

Explore a comprehensive lecture on tracking the adaptation and compensation processes of a patient's brain arterial network in response to an evolving glioblastoma. Delve into the development of automated personalized system-level analysis methods for analyzing the structure of a patient's complete brain arterial network and estimating mean blood flow behavior using magnetic resonance (MR) images. Discover how these techniques allow for tracking compensatory arterial changes and blood flow dynamics from clinical images. Examine a case study of a patient with aggressive brain cancer, revealing significant variations in arterial network structure and blood flow dynamics due to biomechanical mechanisms. Learn about simulations of arterial network evolution over time, highlighting the interplay between tumor development and brain compensation processes. Understand how local disease-related changes impact the global arterial network, which in turn affects disease progression. Consider the potential of using unique spatiotemporal patterns in the arterial network to predict glioblastoma evolution over time.
