Abstract

In this paper, we present a sketch-based interface, which allows medical doctors to illustrate different vascular diseases and treatment methods as well as fluid behavior. With this sketching interface, we provide the physician with an effective tool to illustrate different medical cases, which is important in the complex field of vascular diseases with respect to patient education. We use techniques from sketch-based interfaces and GPU-based computational fluid dynamics by considering usability aspects. We provide a concept and a prototypical implementation whose usability is tested with quantitative and qualitative methods. Additionally, we interviewed a physician to assess the benefits of the tool with respect to patient education.
