Aortic 4D flow MRI - 3D blood flow visualization & quantification in aortic (Example III)

Medical imaging techniques, such as MRI and CT scanning, are valuable tools for getting a lot of information non-invasively and it is useful for reconstructing the geometry of complex objects about the patients. Medical-GiD is a medical image platform that incorporates a module to read directly the blood velocity profile from the MR scan, in particular for deformable registration of 4D MRI images, Electrocardiography (ECG)-synchronized and respiration controlled 3D magnetic resonance (MR) velocity mapping (flow sensitive 4D MRI), 3D morphologic and 3-directional blood flow data. Furthermore, Medical-GiD is focus in the medical image processing in the biomechanical research field to generating meshes from the medical images, to apply in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) or structural mechanics (stress analysis). To date, these techniques have largely been applied to compute meshes for numerical simulations, but with Medical-GiD, we will have the integration between the real data and numerical simulations.
