One of the purposes of the ViVa Project is the reconstruction of geometrical models from a suitable set of data provided by non invasive medical analyses like Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). To do this, we first segment the vessel geometry from the data sets using techniques such as active snakes, and then reconstruct geometrical models using the XOX SHAPES geometric modeler, and in particular its MicroTopology features. In order to perform blood flow simulation on these models, we need to mesh them, and so we use the Mesh++ grid generator to process the models and create a two-dimensional grid for the surfaces and a three-dimensional one for the vessel lumen.
