Gliocast is a set of software tools for visualizing fiber tracts. The emphasis is on the 3D display technologies. Gliocast includes a rudimentary model for tumor growth, but more physically realistic models can be substituted for it.
Fiber tract imagery provided by the Banks Laboratory at the University of Tennessee.

Update: On a related note, Senator Ted Kennedy's malignant glioma, which was diagnosed about two weeks ago, has just been successfully removed by neurosurgeons at Duke University Medical School.
