Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the new software environment CRIMSON: CardiovasculaR Integrated Modelling and SimulatiON. This software provides a number of tools for medical image data analysis, preprocessing, segmentation and blood flow simulation. In this paper we describe the work flow necessary to perform such tasks as well its implementation in CRIMSON based on multiple well-established opensource libraries, such as MITK and OpenCASCADE. We show that the software is easy to use for both experts and non-experts in the field of hemodynamic modelling. The intuitive and responsive interface of CRIMSON facilitates learning and speeds up the model building process by up to a factor of two compared to the existing tool being used for the same purpose. The overall goal of this work is to produce a feature-rich and intuitive open-source blood flow modelling framework that can be used both by engineers and medical personnel.
