Tumor Progression Mapping as Intuitive Visualization of Glioblastoma Progression in MR Follow-ups: Describes the construction of progression maps which provide an intuitive and compact visualization of the complex evolution of glioblastomas over time. This reduces the complexity of 4D data in a way that supports radiologists in their clinical routine of retracing changes in brain tissue over time which are caused by several complex interactions such as treatment, edema and tumor growth. Furthermore, these maps may aid radiologists to recognize subtle growth patterns that can be easily overlooked
