By our method of constrained constructive optimization we generate, on the computer, highly realistic models of coronary arterial trees comprising on the order of 10* individual segments. To characterize these complex structures not only by statistical means, application-specific algorithms and computer programs have been developed to visually display their particular branching pattern. The entire tree is rendered in a realistic, threedimensional manner, similar to the appearance of corrosion casts of real arterial trees. Additionally, various physical and physiological properties can be visualized by appropriate color-coding.
