Computational Modeling of the Effect of Sulci during Tumor Growth and Cerebral Edema

Figure 2

Simplified unit cell models: (a) with sulci structure; (b) without sulci structure; (c) a single element model to demonstrate effect; (d) volume expansion versus for a single element. Boundary conditions are shown and the locations where the local tumor growth/cerebral edema occurs are marked by gray areas.
