Due to the computationally demanding nature of fluid-structure interaction simulations, heart valve simulation is a complex task. A simpler alternative is to model the valve as a resistive flow obstacle that can be updated dynamically…

In this paper, we propose a direct Eulerian generalized Riemann problem (GRP) scheme for a blood flow model in arteries. It is an extension of the Eulerian GRP scheme, which is developed by Ben-Artzi, et. al. in J. Comput. Phys., 218(2006).…

Generating computational anatomical models of cerebrovascular networks is vital for improving clinical practice and understanding brain oxygen transport. This is achieved by extracting graph-based representations based on pre-mapping of…

We propose a method to classify cardiac pathology based on a novel approach to extract image derived features to characterize the shape and motion of the heart. An original semi-supervised learning procedure, which makes efficient use of a…

We present a new high-order finite volume reconstruction method for hyperbolic conservation laws. The method is based on a piecewise cubic polynomial which provides its solutions a fifth-order accuracy in space. The spatially reconstructed…

Patient-specific computational modeling has emerged as a powerful tool for surgical planning in complex congenital heart disease. One promising application is complex biventricular repair, which often requires construction of a custom…

ECG-gated cine imaging in breath-hold enables high-quality diagnostics in most patients, arrhythmia and inability to hold breath, however, can severely corrupt outcomes. Real-time cardiac MRI in free-breathing leverages robust and faster…

X-ray imaging dose from serial cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans raises a clinical concern in most image guided radiation therapy procedures. It is the goal of this paper to develop a fast GPU-based algorithm to reconstruct high quality CBCT images…

This study provides exact analytical solutions for both steady-state and pulsatile annular flows in coaxial cylindrical systems. It also examines the effects of a synchronized inner tube high velocity jet and its potential impact on annular…

We conducted a numerical simulation of ventilated supercavitation from a forward-facing cavitator in unsteady flows generated by a gust generator under different gust angles of attack and gust frequencies. The numerical method is validated…

Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) planning requires advanced spatial visualization and consideration of coronary artery depth, calcification, and pericardial adhesions. Objective: To develop and evaluate a dynamic…

We present a geometric surface parameterization algorithm and several visualization techniques adapted to the problem of understanding the 4D peristaltic-like motion of the outflow tract (OFT) in an embryonic chick heart. We illustrated the…

Blood flow in arterial systems can be described by the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations within a time-dependent spatial domain that accounts for the elasticity of the arterial walls. In this article blood is treated as an…

This paper presents a high speed implementation of an optical flow algorithm which computes planar velocity fields in an experimental flow. Real-time computation of the flow velocity field allows the experimentalist to have instantaneous…

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…

The steady, asymmetric and two-dimensional flow of viscous, incompressible, and Newtonian fluid through a rectangular channel with splitter plate parallel to walls is investigated numerically. In the past, the position of the splitter plate…

In this paper we discuss novel numerical schemes for the computation of the curve shortening and mean curvature flows that are based on special reparametrizations. The main idea is to use special solutions to the harmonic map heat flow in…

Phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides time-resolved quantification of blood flow dynamics that can aid clinical diagnosis. Long in vivo scan times due to repeated three-dimensional (3D) volume sampling over cardiac phases…

Novel Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging modalities can quantify hemodynamics but require long acquisition times, precluding its widespread use for early diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. To reduce the acquisition times, reconstruction…

Coronary artery stenosis, characterized by the narrowing of the lumen, significantly affects blood flow and contributes to the progression of cardiovascular diseases. This study investigates the hemodynamics of coronary artery models with…
