Tumor grading from blood volume maps
ActiveUS20080221441A1Little leakageNot provideImage enhancementImage analysisNon invasiveComputed tomography
An embodiment of the invention is to make possible a non-invasive grading of a tumor based on parameters determined from a frequency distribution (histogram) of values in a map representing cerebral blood volume (CBV) or cellular metabolism in the tumour. The method is especially applicable to brain tumors such as gliomas where histological grading is difficult. The invention provides a precise and consistent grading since it relies on values selected from the whole tumor (not just from hot spots); since it takes the diversity or heterogeneity of the vascularization into account by analyzing the frequency distribution (not just a mean value); and since it involves and allows for a more automated procedure wherein any subjective contributions from human operators is not critical to the resulting grading. CBV maps may be obtained by perfusion imaging using MRI or CT scanning. Cellular metabolism maps may be obtained from a glucose metabolism map obtained by positron emission tomography (PET).

The present invention is based on the practice of abrasive machining with no sealed working chamber by the employment of a visco-elastic abrasive medium, behaving predominantly as an elastic solid at the applied strain of the orbital working motion, and applying orbital or other relative working motion to produce strain rates which bring the medium into a predominantly elastic deformation and often near, but not to exceed, the compressive stress limit at the strain rate employed. The preferred visco-elastic abrasive medium is a rheopectic poly(boro-siloxane) filled with viscosity increasing stiffening agents and high loadings of the abrasive of choice and relatively minor amounts of plasticizers. The system is operated in an open chamber under applied strain rates such that at least about 50%, particularly about 50 to 99%, and preferably about 80 to 95%, of the deflection of the medium tinder the conditions of operation occurs by elastic deformation and is elastically recovered, and less than 50%, particularly about 1 to 50%, preferably about 5 to 20%, of the deflection of the medium occurs by fluid or plastic flow.
