Objective: ascending aortic aneurysm growth prediction is still challenging in clinics. In this study, we evaluate and compare the ability of local and global shape features to predict ascending aortic aneurysm growth. Material and methods:…
Rupture of aortic aneurysms is by far the most fatal heart disease, with a mortality rate exceeding 80%. There are no reliable clinical protocols to predict growth, dissection, and rupture because the fundamental physics driving aneurysm…
Rupture of intracranial aneurysms results in severe subarachnoidal hemorrhage, which is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Neurointerventional occlusion of the aneurysm through coiling has evolved to a therapeutical standard. The…
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is an enlargement in the lower part of the main artery Aorta by 1.5 times its normal diameter. AAA can cause death if rupture occurs. Elective surgeries are recommended to prevent rupture based on geometrical…
Aneurysms are localized bulges of arteries, and they can rupture with fatal consequences. Complex mechanobiological factors preclude in vivo testing to assess the rupture risk of an aneurysm, and size based criteria are often used in…
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…
Background:Subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by ruptured cerebral aneurysm often leads to fatal consequences.However,if the aneurysm can be found and treated during asymptomatic periods,the probability of rupture can be greatly reduced.At…
Clinical decisions for unruptured intracranial aneurysms depend on detecting growth on follow-up magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Growth is typically judged from manual 2D diameters on few slices, which vary across clinicians and…
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are progressive focal dilatations of the abdominal aorta. AAAs may rupture, with a survival rate of only 20\%. Current clinical guidelines recommend elective surgical repair when the maximum AAA diameter…
Purpose: To construct a neural network model that can learn the different diagnosing strategies of radiologists to better classify aneurysm status in magnetic resonance angiography images. Materials and methods: This retrospective study…
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…
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…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is known as one of the major causes of dementia and is characterized by slow progression over several years, with no treatments or available medicines. In this regard, there have been efforts to identify the risk of…
The treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IA) relies on angiography guidance using biplane views. However, accurate flow estimation and device sizing for treatment are often compromised by vessel overlap and foreshortening, which can obscure…
Intracranial aneurysms are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and detecting them manually is a complex, time-consuming task. Albeit automated solutions are desirable, the limited availability of training data makes it…
We present an approach for the visualisation of a set of time series that combines an echo state network with an autoencoder. For each time series in the dataset we train an echo state network, using a common and fixed reservoir of hidden…
Aortic aneurysm disease ranks consistently in the top 20 causes of death in the U.S. population. Thoracic aortic aneurysm is manifested as an abnormal bulging of thoracic aortic wall and it is a leading cause of death in adults. From 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…
The aorta is the body's largest arterial vessel, serving as the primary pathway for oxygenated blood within the systemic circulation. Aortic aneurysms consistently rank among the top twenty causes of mortality in the United States. Thoracic…
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are pathologic dilatations of the abdominal aorta posing a high fatality risk upon rupture. Studying AAA progression and rupture risk often involves in-silico blood flow modelling with computational fluid…
