We conduct computer simulation experiments in pre-operative planning of
vascular reconstruction with a physician in the experimental loop. We
constructed a problem-solving environment, which offers an integrating
approach for constructing and running complex interactive systems. Grid
resources are used for access to medical image repositories, segmentation
resources, simulation of blood flow, and visualization of the simulated
results, together with medical data obtained from MRI/CT scanners. This
case study in vascular reconstruction planning has been validated via
contextual analysis in a number of hospitals, resulting in a set of new
requirements gathered for future versions of the system. We show new
results from numerical simulation of Bloodflow with 3D cellular Automata.
