  1. Computer Generated Vasculature Laboratory for Product and Process Design Undergraduate:Dexter Teng Mentors:Brian Sweetman & Andreas Linninger Date:February 4th, 2010

  2. Motivation • MAIN GOAL: Reconstruct accurate model of brain vasculature using Constrained Constructive Optimization (CCO) algorithm.

  3. Significance • Contribute to an overarching goal of constructing a model to better quantify brain physics interaction between: • CSF (Ventricular system) • Blood (Vascular system) • And Brain Tissue… • … in order to improve treatment and diagnosis of CNS diseases.

  4. Asupp ibif iconn inew iroot Asupp ibif iconn inew The CCO algorithm • A set of rules based on physiological laws and restrictions for random growth of a vasculature.

  5. Preliminary Goal (Goal 1) • Understand how to reconstruct a vascular system using CCO algorithm • 1. Literature search. • 2. Understand CCO algorithm. • 3. Start technical report. Completed • Timeline: Week 1-6 (6)

  6. Current Goals • Goal 2: Reconstruct a small 2-D vasculature in circle • 1. Literature search on capillaries. • 2. Desk test on optimization techniques. • 3. Desk test of CCO algorithm • 4. Begin preliminary coding • 5. Reproduce vasculature • Weeks 6-10 (5)

  7. Goal 3: Reconstruct 3-D Vasculature in sphere • 1.Literature search on relevant topics • 2.Understand methods. • 3.Add onto technical report. • 4.Implement into code. • Weeks 10-13 (4)

  8. Goal 4: Reconstruct a 3-D vasculature in a model brain. • Between Ventricular system and Brain Tissue • Implement into code • Add onto technical report. • 13-16 (4)
