A Modular Tool Chain for High Performance CFD Simulations in Intracranial Aneurysms

چکیده
We present a modular tool chain for high performance CFD simulations of pulsatile blood flow in intracranial aneurysms. We describe a path from in-situ imaging (ie. CT and MRI) to flow simulations and show different modules for obtaining anatomically accurate and allover smooth meshes suitable for computed fluid dynamics (CFD) as well as methods for computing the blood flow in a robust and high performing way.

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to validate a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of flow-diverter treatment through Doppler ultrasonography measurements in patient-specific models of intracranial bifurcation and side-wall aneurysms. METHODS Computational and physical models of patient-specific bifurcation and sidewall aneurysms were constructed from computed tomography angiograph...

This was a proof-of-concept computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study designed to identify atherosclerotic changes in intracranial aneurysms. We selected 3 patients with multiple unruptured aneurysms including at least one with atherosclerotic changes and investigated whether an image-based CFD study could provide useful information for discriminating the atherosclerotic aneurysms. Patient-speci...

Cerebral aneurysms are a major risk factor for intracranial bleeding with devastating consequences for the patient. One recently established treatment is the implantation of flow-diverters (FD). Methods to predict their treatment success before or directly after implantation are not well investigated yet. The aim of this work was to quantitatively study hemodynamic parameters in patient-specifi...
متن کاملSimulation of Pulsatile Flow in Cerebral Aneurysms: From Medical Images to Flow and Forces
There is a growing medical interest in the prediction of the flow and forces inside cerebral aneurysms [24, 52], with the ultimate goal of supporting medical procedures and decisions by presenting viable scenarios for intervention. The clinical background of intracranial aneurysms and subarachnoid hemorrhages is well introduced in the literature such as [46, 51]. These days, with the developmen...
متن کاملCFD Analysis Incorporating the Influence of Wall Motion: Application to Intracranial Aneurysms
Haemodynamics, and in particular wall shear stress, is thought to play a critical role in the progression and rupture of intracranial aneurysms. A novel method is presented that combines image-based wall motion estimation obtained through non-rigid registration with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations in order to provide realistic intra-aneurysmal flow patterns and understand the eff...
