Multiscale modeling of human cerebrovasculature: A hybrid approach using image-based geometry and a mathematical algorithm

Comparison of superficial cortical vessels.
(A) Overview of the vascular structure in the present model for the LV1 and LV2 processes and enlarged view of the present model around a gyral surface. (B) Distributions of the vessel diameter for the terminal edges in the present LV2 model and human pial vessel measurements [7]. Note that the measurement data are characterized by the minimum and maximum diameters of the major intracortical vessels, which can be regarded as the terminal points of the pial vessels before penetration into the cerebral cortex.
