Description of geometric indices Parent vessel geometric characterization Given the 3D surface model, vessel centerlines are computed for all the available segments and are available for download on the website. Only the tract hosting the aneurysm is used for the geometric characterization. The segment under investigation is extracted from the Read more…
Endovascular Coiling Endovascular coiling is a procedure performed to block blood flow into an aneurysm (a weakened area in the wall of an artery). Endovascular coiling is a more recent treatment for brain aneurysms; it has been used in patients since 1991. Endovascular coiling is a minimally invasive technique, which Read more…
What is a cerebral aneurysm? A cerebral aneurysm is a bulge in a weak area of the wall of a brain artery. It puffs out like a small balloon and fills with blood. It is also called an intracranial aneurysm or brain aneurysm. This bulge makes the artery more likely Read more…
3D Blood Flow Simulation Bio-medical researchers have been relying on computational fluid dynamics to model and understand the physical mechanisms behind the formation and progression of hemodynamic disorders. Wall shear stress (WSS) exerted on the walls of the blood vessel due to the flow of blood is one of the Read more…
