We applied computational fluid modeling to head-and-neck cancer patients' DCE-MRI data using permeability maps from extended Tofts' model and tumor geometry from imaging. Interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) maps generated from computational fluid modeling depict heterogeneous distribution of elevated IFP and velocity in tumor tissue. We found significant correlation between tumor volume and IFP.
