Multiscale modeling of human cerebrovasculature: A hybrid approach using image-based geometry and a mathematical algorithm
Fig 6
Vascular pathways to/in a single vascular subregion.
(A) Configuration of the vascular subregion on the brain surface in LV1, with the color indicating the subregion number (ID). (B) Vascular structures in the LV1 reconstruction. Here, there are two arterial pathways and one venous pathway entering an arbitrary vascular subregion Di′. (C) LV2 reconstruction within the above subregion Di′. The vascular pathways have continued from previous terminal vertices. In each figure for an artery/vein, the terminal ends of another vessel are shown as dots. (D) Configurations of terminal ends for arterial (red) and venous (blue) pathways to the introduced subregions on the brain surface. Note that, owing to modeling constraints, all subregions in LV2 have two arterial ends and one venous end.
