3d Graphical Models for Vascular-stent Pose Simulation

چکیده
Stents are playing an increasing role in treatment of arterial stenoses and aneurysms. The goal of this work is to help the clinician in the pre-operative choice of the stent’s length and diameter. This is done by ”plunging” a model of the stent into real vascular 3D image. Two models are used. First, a simple geometrical model, composed of a set of circles or polygons stacked along the vessel’s centerline, is used to simulate the introduction and the deployment of the stent. Second, a simplexmesh model with an adapted cylindrical constraint is used to represent the stent surface. Another axially constrained simplex-mesh deformable model is used to reconstruct the 3D vessel wall. We simulate the interaction between the vessel wall and the stent by imposing that the model of the vessel locally fits the shape of the deployed-stent model. Preliminary quantitative results of the vessel reconstruction accuracy are given. keywords: vascular pathology, stenosis, stent, 3D image, simulation, generalized cylinder, simplex mesh, deformable model

3d Numerical Simulations of Stent-based Local Drug Delivery Using Realistic Stent and Vascular Wall Structures
The efficiency of local delivery using a polymer coated stent depends on the homogeneity of the distribution of the molecule in the vascular wall. The distribution should be as uniform as possible radially and longitudinally with minimal loss in the blood stream. Previous numerical models have investigated the problem with simplified 2D stent geometries and have assumed a normal vascular struct...
متن کامل3D Models Recognition in Fourier Domain Using Compression of the Spherical Mesh up to the Models Surface
Representing 3D models in diverse fields have automatically paved the way of storing, indexing, classifying, and retrieving 3D objects. Classification and retrieval of 3D models demand that the 3D models represent in a way to capture the local and global shape specifications of the object. This requires establishing a 3D descriptor or signature that summarizes the pivotal shape properties of th...
متن کامل3D models for vascular lumen segmentation in MRA images and for artery-stenting simulation
Arterial stenoses and aneurysms are increasingly treated using stents. The goal of this work is to facilitate the pre-operative choice of the stent’s length and diameter. Two models are used to accomplish this task: a deformable cylindrical simplex (DCS) model of the arterial intra-luminal wall and a right generalized cylinder (RGC) model representing the stent’s geometrical properties. An angi...

of “Continuous-state Graphical Models for Object Localization, Pose Estimation and Tracking” by Leonid Sigal, Ph.D., Brown University, May 2008. Reasoning about pose and motion of objects, based on images or video, is an important task for many machine vision applications. Estimating the pose of articulated objects such as people and animals is particularly challenging due to the complexity of ...
متن کاملBottom-Up Modeling of AAA Stent Grafts and Stent Placement Procedures
Arterial stent placement has become a very successful intervention in vascular surgery. One of the most common scenarios includes self-expandable stent grafts composed of a fabric graft and a metal stent mesh. Such stent grafts are used in endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) to support aneurysms, e.g. abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), that are at risk of rupture. Over the last years, a thrust of ...
