Image processing and Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machining techniques have
been used to prepare a large-than-life investment cast of an aortic bifurcation from magnetic
resonance images of a replica of the vessel. The technique will facilitate experimental
studies of vascular fluid dynamics and permit the in vitro reproduction of flows in living
subjects.
