Multiple streams of raw blood coagulation function data may be synthesized into a single display or instrument, showing a synthetic model of a blood clot, which is generated according to algorithms and rendered dynamically in real time by a graphics processor. Dynamic alterations in the states or attributes of specified parts of a displayed blood clot may be used. The dynamic alterations involve, but are not limited to, the shape of parts, changes in the volume of parts, in a three-dimensional representation, or the area of parts, in a two-dimensional representation, number and movement of parts, and changes in the color of parts. The blood clot may be looked at from all angles according to user input. The dynamically altered parts of the visual clot model may include background, drug indicator, fibrin mesh indicator, plasmatic coagulation factor indicator, blood drops and pool of blood indicator, and platelet indicator. |
