Abstract

Abstract: Based on specific problems, in neuroradiological diagnosis and interventional treatment, the talk describes a pipeline of processing steps from medical image data to reliable blood flow simulation results.This pipeline includes model generation, where a trade-off between smoothness, accuracy, low mesh complexity, and high triangle quality is required. The exploration of the resulting data is challenging since the flow data has to be put in anatomic context. Focus and context rendering and overview map visualizations are among the techniques to support medical users. In addition to provide mere diagnostic support, we also consider treatment options and discuss how to predict the outcome of therapies. This requires, for example, to include geometric models of stent geometries in the simulation. Since the talk is based on ongoing research, some portions of the talk rather reflect a preliminary state and not finished results.
