A dynamic lesion model for differentiation of malignant and benign pathologies

Abstract Malignant lesions have a high tendency to invade their surrounding environment compared to benign ones. This paper proposes a dynamic lesion model and explores the 2nd order derivatives at each image voxel, which reflect the rate of change of image intensity, as a quantitative measure of th...
