GPU-Accelerated Compartmental Modeling Analysis of DCE-MRI Data from Glioblastoma Patients Treated with Bevacizumab
The compartment model analysis using medical imaging data is the well-established but extremely time consuming technique for quantifying the changes in microvascular physiology of targeted organs in clinical patients after antivascular therapies. In this paper, we present a first graphics processing unit-accelerated method for compartmental modeling of medical imaging data. Using this approach,...
متن کاملAcute Effects of Bevacizumab on Glioblastoma Vascularity Assessed with DCE-MRI and Relation to Patient Survival
Introduction: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is characterized by rapid growth and abnormally tortuous and leaky tumor vasculature, providing a potential therapeutic target for anti-angiogenic agents such as Bevacizumab. The anti-VEGF antibody Bevacizumab (Genentech) alone has recently been shown to have a therapeutic benefit in GBM patients [1]. In this trial, dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-...
متن کاملQuantitative volumetric analysis of conventional MRI response in recurrent glioblastoma treated with bevacizumab.
Although the effects of bevacizumab on magnetic resonance images (MRIs) of recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) are well documented, to our knowledge, no studies have explicitly quantified the volumetric changes resulting from initial treatment, nor have there been studies examining the ability for volumetric changes in conventional MRI to predict progression-free survival (PFS) and overall ...
متن کاملNeurocognitive function in patients with recurrent glioblastoma treated with bevacizumab.
Neurocognitive decline is a frequent adverse effect of glioblastoma. Antitumor therapies that are efficacious, as measured by traditional endpoints such as objective response (OR) and progression-free survival (PFS), and have beneficial effects on neurocognitive function (NCF) are of clinical benefit to these patients. We evaluated neurocognitive changes across time in 167 patients with recurre...
متن کاملAnalyzing DCE-MRI data
I. Overview Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) is a rapidly evolving imaging technique. It is the current standard for breast MR imaging; also many research studies have been conducted to evaluate its application for various clinical problems. The development of gadolinium-based contrast agents in early 1980 opened a new era for imaging of tumors and vascular systems. Tumors require a high...
