Automated Patient-Specific Modeling of Blood Flow and Vessel Wall Mechanics in Aortic

This work presents a numerical approach to non-invasively help the diagnosis of patients with vascular pathologies on an individual basis. Patient-specific computational modeling of cardiovascular biomechanics was conducted to simulate the hemodynamics, the elastomechanics and their interaction within the vessels. For the blood flow and vessel wall computations, individual mesh generation techniques and numerical models for CSM, CFD and FSI were generated and implemented based on CT/MRI images.
