General Description

The LifeV Imaging subproject aims at developing an open source platform for the full pipeline "from medical images to computational meshes" It comprises several steps:

• Image segmentation: from a medical images in a standard format (e.g. DICOM) extracts points and/or other geometrical information that allow to describe in a well defined way the geometries implicitely contained in the picture.
• Surface triangulation. The surface extracted from the image has to be triangulated to produce a surface mesh, according to qualility indicators and user defined spacings.
• Mesh generation. A three dimensional mesh has to be generated.

NEW: tutorial for building: - cylindrical structured for FSI to use in LifeV (using gmsh) - FSI meshes given a physiological surface (using vmtk and gmsh)
