In this study we assess the growth pattern of one of the most aggressive brain tumor in adults. Surgery is a standard of care for these patients, and understanding the prominent growth direction of tumor lesions can eventually benefit surgical planning. Contrast-enhanced MR data at two time-points of diagnosis and pre-operation were analyzed to derive mean 3D vector field demonstrating the growth directions. A DTI white matter (WM) atlas was used to investigate the degree of agreement and alignment of the generated vector field towards white matter fibers.
