Abstract
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the impact that modern visualization techniques can have on the simulation of biological processes such as tumour growth. Therefore, a simplified three-dimensional cytokinetic simulation model of tumour growth in vitro has been developed. Results concerning the development of a small cell lung cancer (SCLC) tumour spheroid in cell culture have been obtained and their behaviour has been compared with both published data and laboratory experience. A special visualization system allowing real time surface and volume rendering on inexpensive computer hardware has been proposed. Its application to the model has led to a spectacular three-dimensional visualization of both the external and the internal structure of a growing tumour spheroid.
