Abstract
The paper describes a model of the coronary artery tree. It has been developed for the context of medical image processing and medical reporting. The model combines geometric information with associated medical nomenclature and anatomical relations. Applicability of the model and interindividual geometrical variability has been studied by matching the model to the individual coronary anatomy of 33 patients imaged with a multidetector-row computer tomography scanner.
