Towards the Design of a Patient-Specific Virtual Tumour

Figure 8

Tumour growth is monitored from the normalized tumour area in experimental images (a) and in the simulations (b). All tumour cases are represented in both graphics (curves in green for the experiments in panel (a) and in blue for the simulations in panel (b)) and the black curves correspond to the mean curves featuring the standard deviation for each point. (c) shows the evolution of the ratio between actively proliferating cells and quiescent cells in the simulations for all the tumour cases (where each grey curve represents one tumour case) and the red curve represents the mean curve with standard deviation of the mean for each point.
