Brain tumor quantification equation: Modeled on complete step response algorithm

In Image Guided neuro-Surgery (IGnS) protocol relating to tumor, the planning stage is the bottleneck where most times are spent reconstructing the slices in order to; quantify the tumor, get the tumor shape and location relative to adjacent cells, and determine best incursion route among others. This time consuming assignment is handled by a surgeon using any of the standardized IGnS software. It has been observed that the approach taken to quantify tumor in those software are simply replicating the surgeons´ experience-based brain tumor quantification technique fashionable in the pre-imaging era. The result is a quantification method that is time consuming, and at bests an approximation. What is presented here is a novel brain tumor quantification method based on step response algorithm utilizing a model which itself was based on step response model resulting in smart and rapid quantification of brain tumor volume.
