In this<br>summer school we will focus on two open source tools, vmtk (the Vascular</div><div>Modeling Toolkit, based on VTK and ITK) for creating patient-specific geometries </div><div>and FEniCS for performing flow computations.</div><div>Particular emphasis is put on hands-on sessions in which participants will</div><div>learn to master the tools under guidance by their very creators.<br><br>Organizers: Kent-Andre Mardal, Luca Antiga, Anders Logg</div><div><br></div><div>See also:</div><div><a href="http://www.fenics.org">www.fenics.org</a></div><div><a href="http://www.vmtk.org">www.vmtk.org</a></div><div><a href="http://www.simula.no">www.simula.no</a></div></div></div></div></div><br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div>--</div><div>Luca Antiga, PhD</div><div>Head, Medical Imaging Unit,<br>Biomedical Engineering Department,<br>Mario Negri Institute.<br>mail: Villa Camozzi, 24020, Ranica (BG), Italy<br>phone: +39 035 4535-381<br>email: <a href="mailto:antiga@marionegri.it">antiga@marionegri.it</a><br>web: <a href="http://villacamozzi.marionegri.it/~luca">http://villacamozzi.marionegri.it/~luca</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></span></div></span></div></span> </div><br></body></html>
