Motto: “Science like life feeds on its own decay. New facts burn old rules; then newly developed concepts bind old and new together into a reconciling law.”, William James.

Research Goal:

Model the Hyperthermia Induced Temperature Distribution;

Model Tumor Perfusion;

      2D Percolation Cluster of the Tumor Perfusion;

      3D Fractal Structure of Tumor Microvascular Networks;

      Fractal Interpolation Functions to Reconstruct the 3D Tumor Perfusion;

Model Temperature Distribution Using Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI

3D RPI Reconstruction Using Linear Interpolation
