An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an enlargement of the abdominal aorta which, if left untreated, can progressively widen and may rupture with fatal consequences. In this paper, we determine an optimal treatment policy using Markov…

OBJECTIVE: Assessing the biomechanical behaviour of the aortic wall in vivo can potentially improve the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). With ultrasound, AAA wall stiffness can be estimated as the…

The development and progression of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are related to complex flow patterns and wall-shear-driven mechanobiological stimuli, yet the quantitative relationship between aneurysmal geometry and hemodynamics remains…

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a vascular disease in which a section of the aorta enlarges, weakening its walls and potentially rupturing the vessel. Abdominal ultrasound has been utilized for diagnostics, but due to its limited image…

The two most important aneurysm types are cerebral aneurysms (CA) and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), accounting together for over 80\% of all fatal aneurysm incidences. To minimise aneurysm related deaths, clinicians require various…

Cerebral aneurysm rupture, leading to subarachnoid hemorrhage with a high mortality rate, disproportionately affects younger populations, resulting in a significant loss of productive life years. A significant proportion of these deaths is…

It is known that the maximum diameter for the rupture-risk assessment of the abdominal aortic aneurysm is a generally good method, but not sufficient. Alternative features obtained with computational modeling may provide additional useful…

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, affecting over 1% of the population. It is usually triggered by irregular electrical impulses that cause the atria to contract irregularly and…

In this work we propose a low rank approximation of high fidelity finite element simulations by utilizing weights corresponding to areas of high stress levels for an abdominal aortic aneurysm, i.e. a deformed blood vessel. We focus on the…

In its permanent quest of mechanobiological homeostasis, our vascula-ture significantly adapts across multiple length and time scales in various physiological and pathological conditions. Computational modeling of vascular growth and…

Spatial patterns of elevated wall shear stress and pressure due to blood flow past aortic stenosis (AS) are studied using GPU-accelerated patient-specific computational fluid dynamics. Three cases of moderate AS, one with a dilated…

This study presents an application of machine learning (ML) methods for detecting the presence of stenoses and aneurysms in the human arterial system. Four major forms of arterial disease -- carotid artery stenosis (CAS), subclavian artery…

This paper presents an efficient and compact MATLAB code for three-dimensional stress-based sensitivity analysis. The 146 lines code includes the finite element analysis and p-norm stress sensitivity analysis based on the adjoint method.…

Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) is a group of life threatening conditions of the aorta. We have developed an end-to-end automatic approach to detect AAS in computed tomography (CT) images. Our approach consists of two steps. At first, we…

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia. Many AF patients experience complications such as stroke and other cardiovascular issues. Early detection of AF is crucial. Existing algorithms can only distinguish ``AF rhythm in AF…

Despite the plethora of AI-based algorithms developed for anomaly detection in radiology, subsequent integration into clinical setting is rarely evaluated. In this work, we assess the applicability and utility of an AI-based model for brain…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia characterized by rapid and irregular contractions of the atria. It significantly elevates the risk of strokes due to slowed blood flow in the atria, especially in the left atrial…

While contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) is standard for assessing abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), the required iodinated contrast agents pose significant risks, including nephrotoxicity, patient allergies, and environmental harm. To reduce…

The accurate and timely diagnosis of acute aortic syndromes (AAS) in patients presenting with acute chest pain remains a clinical challenge. Aortic CT angiography (CTA) is the imaging protocol of choice in patients with suspected AAS.…

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) are often repaired through an Endovascular approach known as EVAR. The success and duration of these challenging procedures are primarily attributable to the accuracy and reliability of navigating…
