Towards the Design of a Patient-Specific Virtual Tumour

Figure 7

Tumour and vascular states are compared between day 7 and day 14 for two tumour cases: M2-R (a) and M4-R (b). In experimental images, the vasculature is highlighted in red using dextran-rhodamine and the U87-GFP tumour cells are highlighted in green. In the simulated images, a corresponding colour code has been used. The vessels are in red and the neovessels in lighter red. The tumour cells appear in green with actively proliferating cells in brighter green. In the simulated images, the growth factors produced by the tumour cells appear in red in the background. Scale bars: 500 m.
