We have used the voxel-based method to examine the Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) of blood flow and blood vessel wall. This method uses the voxel data that are Cartesian structured grid from medical image. We have confirmed the accuracy and reliability of this method for blood vessel. In this paper, we introduce backgrounds, kinetic models of blood vessel, a numerical method, and a result of experiment.
