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

We propose a new approach for automatically generating individual vessels to 3D (three-
dimensional) model. The modeling process is carried out in two steps. The first step consists …

Angiogenesis, the growth of vascular structures, is an extremely complex biological process
which has long puzzled scientists. Better physiological understanding of this phenomenon …

Better physiological understanding of principles regulating vascular formation and growth is
mandatory to their efficient modeling for the purpose of physiologically oriented medical …

Accurate vascular geometry modeling is an essential task in computer assisted vascular
surgery and therapy. This paper presents a vessel cross-section based implicit vascular …

Human vascular systems have considerable anatomic variations. In diseased situation,
significant pathological changes will be developed with the systems. However, vascular …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a key tool for a wide range of research areas, beyond
the computer science community. In particular, CFD is used in medicine to measure blood …

Image-based blood flow computation provides great promise for the evaluation of vascular
devices and assessment of surgical procedures. However, many previous studies employ …

In surgical training simulators, where various organ surfaces make up the majority of the
scene, the visual appearance is highly dependent on the quality of the surface textures …

In the present work, a simulation system is proposed that can be used as an educational tool
by physicians in training basic skills of minimally invasive vascular interventions. In order to …
