Abstract
Ultrasonic acquisition, by its simplicity, low cost and non invasiveness, emerged as an essential supplementary examination for cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of a global branching artery modelling. A geometrical approach is used for that purpose. A surface, based on a deformable skeleton and envelope, is defined. Including the shape as an a priori knowledge, this surface is fitted with 3D ultrasonic data by an iterative downhill gradient descent. Quality of the fit is illustrated by figures and numerical results. This tool could be used for objective spatial quantification and can be a useful instrument for blood flow modelling.
