Abstract
A review of on-going projects employing an interdisciplinary approach is presented. This approach is the applicability of computer graphics, fluid dynamics and numerical analysis techniques to hemodynamic problems in medicine. It has been shown to be feasible. The hemodynamic studies are the analysis of blood movement in prosthetic heart valves and the attempt to understand initiation and formation of atherosclerotic lesions. It is demonstrated that the Navier-Stokes equations of flow are amenable to descriptive solution by computer graphics and resulting examples of particular surface and perspective displays are presented. Comparison of computer graphics experiments with clinical findings are discussed.
