Analysis of image heterogeneity using 2D Minkowski functionals detects tumor responses to treatment

The acquisition of ever increasing volumes of high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data has created an urgent need to develop automated and objective image analysis algorithms that can assist in determining tumor margins, diagnosing tumor stage, and detecting treatment response.
