HemoSolve

Provide an environment for simulation of blood flow in patient specific arteries.

Nowadays, arterial diseases are a major cause of death. Their consequences are vascular system deformations and thus disorders of normal blood circulation in the human vascular system. In order to understand the vascular mechanics and find adequate solutions to these problems the development of a well-established problem solving environment is a major step. The objective of HemoSolve is to provide an environment for simulation of blood flow in patient specific arteries. Here further development of HemoSolve is presented.

The human vascular system is a very complex structure and treatments such as bypass and/or stent placement on its deformed parts are not always straightforward procedures. An enhanced decision support system such as HemoSolve can serve as a pre-operational planning tool for surgeons and a useful experimental system for medical students for training purposes.

As its predecessor, the new version of HemoSolve is also merged with Grid technology which allows an access to different and distant computational and instrumental resources.
