Figure 4

Velocity of diameter expansion (VDE) variation of mean tumor diameter (MTD) for fluid attenuated inversion recovery [FLAIR] and enhancing nodule (EN) volumes for each patient. Plus the case reported by Mandonnet et al. as specified in Discussion paragraph. Graphic shows variation of acceleration (Acc) based on VDE (mm/days2) for FLAIR tumor volume and EN volume along time. Except obvious similar variation for two types of volume considered, peaks are easily notable. VDE of patient #1 is covered by patient #4.
