The São Francisco Craton in Eastern brazil, one of the major shield areas forming the South AmericanPlatform, had its present-day configuration defined by the remobilisation of its edges during the Brasilianoorogeny in the Neoproterozoic. This tectonic event produced deformation and closure of the Middle toNeoproterozoic basins represented in the neighbouring craton regions. In the south-east boundary area ofthe craton, the Espinhaço Supergroup, a thick metasedimentary sequence, represents one of these basins.This region has a long tectonic history. About 1.7 Ga, after the Paleoproterozoic period of deformationand igneous activity of the Transamazonian Orogeny, the crust was affected by an extensional eventwhich resulted in fragmentation and development of a rift basin where the Espinhaço Supergroup wasdeposited. About 900 Ma, a second extensional event represented by emplacement of mafic dikes in areasadjacent to the craton and formation of a new rift basin toward East is represented. The tectonic evolvedinto continental collision producing crustal shortening and thickening with westward tectonic transportonto the craton.

The 3D modeling of the vascular system could be achieved in different ways: In the venous location, the morphological modeling by MSCT venography is used to image the venous system: this morphological modeling tool accurately investigates the 3D morphology of the venous network of our patients with chronic venous disease. It is also a fine educational tool for students who learn venous anatomy, the most complex of the human body. Another kind of modeling (mathematical modeling) is used to simulate the venous functions, and virtually tests the efficacy of any proposed treatments. To image the arterial system, the aim of 3D modeling is to precisely assess and quantify the arterial morphology. The use of augmented reality before an endovascular procedure allows pre-treatment simulation, assisting in pre-operative planning as well as surgical training. In the special field of liver surgery, several 3D modeling software products are available for computer simulations and training purposes and augmented reality.
