Feasibility Evaluation of Radioimmunoguided Surgery of Breast Cancer
Figure 2
These figures illustrate the iterative growth of the tumour volume used to determine MDTV. (a) Stage 1: the grey disc represents the tumour volume, seen here growing horizontally to a maximum of 4 cm in diameter. (b) Stage 2: two new layers, each 2 mm thick, have been added vertically to the tumour volume, and horizontal growth will occur only in these new layers to a maximum of 4 cm in diameter. This process continues to a maximum length of 4 cm.
