Modeling and hexahedral meshing of arterial networks from centerlines. (arXiv:2201.08279v1 [cs.CG])

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation provides valuable information
on blood flow from the vascular geometry. However, it requires to extract
accurate models of arteries from low resolution medical images, which remains
challenging. Centerline-based representation is widely used to model large
vascular networks with small vessels, as it enables manual editing and encodes
the topological information. In this work, we propose an automatic method to
generate an hexahedral mesh suitable for CFD directly from centerlines. The
proposed method is an improvement …
