In traditional engineering disciplines, geometries, boundary conditions, flow conditions, and fluid properties well defined. However, such information is often not well defined in biomedical computing and engineering. We often rely on medical image-based segmentations that involve a significant amount of manual labor, which again could result in inter-laboratory variability. In addition, many studies in the biomedical domain are retrospective and lack patient-specific boundary conditions like flow rates, loads etc. Verification & validation (V&V) is therefore especially important in biomedical computing. Since the concepts of V&V are fairly broad, we will provide a brief introduction to the topics. Although the material is relevant for all branched of image-based modeling where assumptions have to be made, the trends in biomedical computing will be exemplified by an overview of the recent challenges held in the aneurysm computational fluid dynamics community. Finally, we will address whether or not V&V is actually needed, or just additional noise.
