Abstract

Hypoxia as one of the principal properties of tumor cells is a reaction to the deprivation of oxygen. The location of tumor cells could be identified by assessment of oxygen and nutrient level in human body. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a well-known non-invasive method that is able to measure hypoxia based on the FMISO (Fluoromisonidazole) tracer dynamic. This paper aims to study the PET tracer concentration through convection–diffusion-reaction equations in a real human capillary-like network. A non-uniform oxygen pressure along the capillary path and convection mechanism for FMISO transport are taken into account to accurately model the characteristics of the tracer. To this end, a multi-scale model consists of laminar blood flow through the capillary network, interstitial pressure, oxygen pressure, FMISO diffusion and FMISO convection transport in the extravascular region is developed. The present model considers both normal and tumor tissue regions in computational domain. The accuracy of numerical model is verified with the experimental results available in the literature. The convection and diffusion types of transport mechanism are employed in order to calculate the concentration of FMISO in the normal and tumor sub-domain. The influences of intravascular oxygen pressure, FMISO transport mechanisms, capillary density and different types of tissue on the FMISO concentration have been investigated. According to result (Table 4) the convection mechanism of FMISO molecules transportation is negligible, but it causes more accuracy of the proposed model. The approach of present study can be employed in order to investigate the effects of various parameters, such as tumor shape, on the dynamic behavior of different PET tracers, such as FDG, can be extended to different case study problems, such as drug delivery. © 2018 Elsevier Inc.
