In this work, a computational procedure is proposed to vascularize anatomical regions
supplied by many inflow sites. The proposed methodology creates a partition of the territory …

There is a marked difference in the structure of the arterial tree between epi-and endocardial
layers of the human heart. To model these structural variations, we developed an extension …

Computer models of arterial trees can be generated from optimization principles using the
algorithm of constrained constructive optimization (CCO). Up to now this algorithm could …

The computational method of constrained constructive optimization (CCO) has been
generalized in two important respects:(1) arterial model trees are now grown within a …

We present a framework for the construction of vascular systems based on optimality
principles of theoretical physiology. Given the position and flow distribution of end points of a …

In this paper, methods for the modeling of a realistic vascular tree in 3D space and for
hemodynamic calculating throughout the simulated tree structure have been developed …

Arterial tree models are generated by Constrained Constructive Optimization according to
minimum intravascular volume. These models, which have been shown to adequately …

We study various properties of constructive optimization in 3D vascular systems. After some
remarks on existing approaches to vascular modeling and on the theory of vascular …

In this paper, three-dimensional modeling of vascular networks is described. We propose a
constructive approach to generating vascular segments and bifurcations using sweeping …

A comprehensive analysis of vascular morphology and the application of generic models of
vascular biomechanics to specific patients require the ability of extracting a geometrical …
