چکیده
PURPOSE This paper includes results of the first stage of research aimed at the development of recommendations for physicians in order to help them to choose a particular type of cerebral arteries aneurysms treatment. METHODS Recent studies show that the majority of aneurysms develop as a result of hemodynamic and degenerative lesions of the vascular wall. Obviously, such wall damage can be studied using the methods of continuum mechanics and numerical simulations. Biomechanical modelling allows us to study hemodynamic parameters and stress-strain state of these arteries in health and disease, and to formulate practical recommendations for the necessity and reasonable selection of a particular type of cerebral arteries aneurysm treatment. RESULTS At this stage the realistic geometric models of arterial circle of Willis were built for its normal state and in the presence of aneurysms. The ultrasound analysis of circle of Willis was conducted in order to obtain blood flow parameters and the boundary conditions for carotid and vertebral arteries. Also, the mechanical properties of these arteries were investigated and constants of the Mooney-Rivlin strain energy function were obtained. CONCLUSIONS Thus, the boundary problem describing the behaviour of human Willis circle arteries was stated. Further, this problem will be solved numerically using the finite element method. The numerical results will be analyzed from the point of view of the influence of the mechanical factors on the emergence, growth and rupture of circle of Willis aneurysms.

ABSTRACT Anatomical variations have great importance among various medical disciplins. The significance of these variations differ from some points of view including system, site and degree of variation. Vascular system is a common site of variations. The importance of this system in supplying the organs, specially the brain has made it to be in focus for its variations. The main sourc...

In order to evaluate the microvascular anatomy and the interconnections, 101 fixed brains from human cadavers with a mean age of 41.3 years were subjected to objective scrutiny. Symmetry was visualized with an unaided eye and measurements made under microscopic magnification technique using a micrometer. Classic symmetry was observed in only 19 of the specimens, whereas the rest of the 82...
