12 Intelligent data analysis and visualisation for body imaging and computer-aided diagnosis

		Multidetector CT coronary angiography. Segmentation of coronary arteries and flow simulation (stent and bypass planning)

The focus is on the cardiovascular system: Data acquisition, interactive segmentation, flow simulation, and computer-aided diagnosis. One of our main goals is to evaluate, refine and develop new data acquisition methods for non-invasive angiography, thus providing high-resolution datasets for generating 3D models and simulations of vessel
