Joint
8th Ragnar Granit Symposium
and
1st CSC Scientific Meeting
Cardiovascular Hemodynamics
from Modeling to Clinical Applications
September 13-14, 2001
Helsinki, Finland
LordHotel, Lönnrotinkatu 29
Virtual surgery and virtual patient are emerging tools formed by recent development in
medical imaging, measurement of physiological signals and computational modeling.
New modalities in magnetic resonance and ultrasound imaging provide fundamental
information on the anatomy and dynamics of the cardiovascular system. These are
the key elements in constructing models of this complex system. The new possibilities
to model blood flow and the hemodynamic control system provide novel clinical
information by combining the measured data, physical phenomena and computational
tools. These tools help to develop better measurement methods of the key cardiovascular
functions such as the cardiac output.
The goal of the symposium is to bring together clinicians, modelers, and persons working
in medical imaging. The emphasis is on the present and emerging clinical applications
of modeling and on new possibilities for measuring cardiovascular functions. The
symposium is closely connected to the research of the international research program
DynAMo.
