BLOOD-VESSEL-SHAPE CONSTRUCTION DEVICE FOR BLOOD-FLOW SIMULATION, METHOD THEREFOR, AND COMPUTER SOFTWARE PROGRAM

摘要

This device for constructing a blood-vessel-shape model in order to perform blood-flow analysis using computational fluid dynamics is provided with: an input unit which inputs a medical image; a shape-model generation unit which constructs, based on the medical image, a blood-vessel-shape model; a shape-model-quality evaluation unit which evaluates the shape reproduction degree of the constructed blood-vessel-shape model to determine the quality of the blood-vessel-shape model; and an output unit which outputs the determination result and the constructed blood-vessel-shape model.
