SAMbrain

COMING SOON: Instructions on how to access the Simulated Annealing Model of the Brain (SAMbrain). SAMbrain is a model of the brain arteries. It will soon be available from The Open University data repository in SWC format. If you use the SAMbrain model, please cite the following papers relating to the SALVO method used to develop the vasculature and validation of the model vasculature:
  1. Development of a globally optimised model of the cerebral arteries. J. Keelan, E.M.L. Chung, J.P. Hague. To appear in Phys. Med. Biol.
  2. Simulated annealing approach to vascular structure with application to the coronary arteries. J. Keelan, E.M.L. Chung and J.P. Hague
