Modeling the flowing blood in vascular structures is crucial to perform
in silico
simulations in various clinical contexts. This remains however an emerging and challenging research field, that raises several open issues. In particular, a compromise is generally made between the completeness of the simulation and the complicated architecture of the vasculature: reduced order simulations (lumped parameter models) represent vascular networks, whereas detailed models are devoted to small regions of interest. However, technical improvements enable targeting of compartments of the blood circulation rather than focusing on vascular branched segments. This article aims at investigating the cerebral flow in the entire venous drainage that can be reconstructed from medical imaging.
