One challenge for hepatic flow simulation is to divide the hepatic vasculature into individual Couinaud segments, and to simulate flow at both segmental and organ levels. We propose to integrate a segment simulation algorithm with the flow solver in a Constructive Constraint Optimisation (CCO) algorithm to address this problem. In this way blood flow simulations can be conducted for large segment-specific vasculatures as relevant to surgical procedures. In this short communication we outline the methods and present some preliminary results.
肝脏血流模拟面临的一个挑战是将肝血管系统划分为各个Couinaud肝段,并在段和器官层面模拟血流。我们建议将段模拟算法与流动求解器集成到建设性约束优化(CCO)算法中,以解决这个问题。通过这种方式,可以针对与手术程序相关的大型特定段血管系统进行血流模拟。在这篇简短的通讯中,我们概述了方法并展示了一些初步结果。
