Abstract The 3D modeling of the vascular system could be achieved in different ways:
In the venous location, the morphological modeling by MSCT venography is used to image the venous system: this morphological modeling tool accurately investigates the 3D morphology of the venous network of our patients with chronic venous disease. It is also a fine educational tool for students who learn venous anatomy, the most complex of the human body.
Another kind of modeling (mathematical modeling) is used to simulate the venous functions, and virtually tests the efficacy of any proposed treatments.
To image the arterial system, the aim of 3D modeling is to precisely assess and quantify the arterial morphology. The use of augmented reality before an endovascular procedure allows pre-treatment simulation, assisting in pre-operative planning as well as surgical training.
In the special field of liver surgery, several 3D modeling software products are available for computer simulations and training purposes and augmented reality. |
