The emergence of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) enabled the simulation of intricate transport processes, including flow in physiological structures, such as blood vessels. While these so-called hemodynamic simulations offer…
Strokes are still one of the leading causes for death after heart diseases and cancer in all over the world. Most strokes happen because an artery that carries blood uphill from the heart to the head gets clogged. Most of the time, as with…
Morphology of cardiovascular tissue is influenced by the unsteady behavior of the blood flow and vice versa. Therefore, the pathogenesis of several cardiovascular diseases is directly affected by the blood-flow dynamics. Understanding flow…
Carotid artery plaques can cause arterial vascular diseases such as stroke and myocardial infarction, posing a severe threat to human life. However, the current clinical examination mainly relies on a direct assessment by physicians of…
Analysing the haemodynamics of flow in carotid artery disease serves as a means to better understand the development and progression of associated complex diseases. Carotid artery disease can predispose people to major adverse…
Atherosclerosis of the carotid artery increases stroke risk. Atherosclerosis assessment with MRI requires multimodal and multidimensional segmentation of the carotid artery, reproducible extraction of biomarkers, and the visualization of…
Intracranial aneurysms remain a major cause of neurological morbidity and mortality worldwide, where rupture risk is tightly coupled to local hemodynamics particularly wall shear stress and oscillatory shear index. Conventional…
Stroke poses a significant global health threat, with millions affected annually, leading to substantial morbidity and mortality. Current stroke risk assessment for the general population relies on markers such as demographics, blood tests,…
Blood circulation in the human brain is supplied through a network of cerebral arteries. If a clinician suspects a patient has a stroke or other cerebrovascular condition they order imaging tests. Neuroradiologists visually search the…
During the diagnosis of ischemic strokes, the Circle of Willis and its surrounding vessels are the arteries of interest. Their visualization in case of an acute stroke is often enabled by Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA). Still, the…
Background and Objective: Hemodynamic analysis of blood flow through arteries and veins is critical for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases, such as aneurysms and stenoses, and for investigating cardiovascular parameters, such as turbulence…
Intracardiac flow patterns are shaped by the coupled motion of the cardiac chambers and heart valves and provide important information about cardiac function. However, clinical flow imaging remains limited by exam times, noise, resolution,…
Atherosclerosis is a state wherein plaque (fat, cholesterol, and different substances) develops inside the veins that in the end prompts carotid artery stenosis which is a phase of narrowing in the huge courses situated on either side of…
Cerebrovascular diseases such as brain aneurysms are a primary cause of adult disability. The flow dynamics in brain arteries, both during periods of rest and increased activity, are known to be a major factor in the risk of aneurysm…
Numerical predictions of blood flow and hemodynamic properties through a stenotic and aneurysmal rigid artery are studied in the presence of blood clot at constricted area. Finite element method has been used to solve the steady partial…
Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. The efficacy of recovery is determined by a variety of factors, including patient adherence to rehabilitation programs. One way to increase patient adherence to their…
The study of thrombosis is crucial to understand and develop new therapies for diseases like deep vein thrombosis, diabetes related strokes, pulmonary embolism etc. The last two decades have seen an exponential growth in studies related to…
We illustrate the potential of PDE-based traffic flow control in cardiovascular flow analysis, monitoring, and control, presenting a PDE-based control-oriented formulation, for 1-D blood flow dynamics in the presence of stenosis. This is…
Cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations are life-threatening hemodynamic pathologies of the brain. While surgical intervention is often essential to prevent fatal outcomes, it carries significant risks both during the procedure…
A deeper understanding of the influence of common cardiovascular diseases like stenosis, aneurysm or atherosclerosis on the circulatory mechanism is required, to establish new methods for early diagnosis. Different types of simulators were…
