Abstract
Modelling glioma remains a critical area of research due to its poor prognosis. Phase-field modelling is an effective computational approach to simulate the dynamics of biological systems, including tumor growth like glioma. Here, the growth of a tumor is studied in the proximity of a blood artery that nourishes the tumor. The mathematical model reflects a diffusion-driven growth using a phase-field approach coupled with mechanical deformation. The numerical implementation of the mathematical model is realized in an FEM framework. Several numerical examples are provided to show the applicability of the model especially in clinical practices.
期刊介绍:
The primary aims of Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering are to provide a means of communicating the advances being made in the areas of biomechanics and biomedical engineering and to stimulate interest in the continually emerging computer based technologies which are being applied in these multidisciplinary subjects. Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering will also provide a focus for the importance of integrating the disciplines of engineering with medical technology and clinical expertise. Such integration will have a major impact on health care in the future.
