Patient-Specific 3D Cellular Automata Nodule Growth Synthesis in Lung Cancer without the Need of External Dataīiomedical Image Analysis Group, Imperial College London Significant improvement in prediction (p-value <= 0.0001) was achieved using the simulation-based marker (AUC = 0.85) compared to predictions based on the MRI features without and with oversampling (AUC = 0.77 and 0.80, respectively) Logistic regression was then performed to predict recurrence i) directly from MRI features following a conventional radiomics approach, ii) from intermediate parameters and iii) from the number of tumor cells at t = 8 weeks output given by the mechanistic model. The prescribed irradiation protocols were simulated using the mechanistic model.

Analogous digital tissues were built from pre-treatment MRI. A cohort of 76 patients with localized prostate adenocarcinoma having undergone external beam radiotherapy was used. The purpose of this work was to use a mechanistic in silico model of tumor growth and response to irradiation to obtain better predictions.
