Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death in the developed world.
CVD can include atherosclerosis, aneurysm, dissection, or occlusion of the main arteries …

The cerebrovascular system is an intricate structure that carries blood to and from the brain.
Though the overall structures remain relatively the same from person to person, variations of …

Carotid stenosis involves narrowing of the lumen in the carotid artery potentially leading to a
stroke, which is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Several recent …

Purpose In-vitro modelling can be used to investigate haemodynamics of arterial geometry
and stent implants. However, in-vitro model fidelity relies on precise matching of in-vivo …

Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death in the US. It is estimated that
intracranial stenosis, which refers to the narrowing of the blood vessels within the brain …

In computational fluid dynamics models for hemodynamics applications, boundary
conditions remain one of the major issues in obtaining accurate fluid flow predictions. For …

We investigate the potentials and limitations of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis
of patient specific models from 3D angiographies. There are many technical problems in …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death in the developed world. One
of the most common management methods for CVD is through vascular implants such as …

Introduction: Fluid dynamic models of the cerebral vasculature are increasingly being used
to evaluate intracranial vascular pathology in order to address the challenge of assessing …

The focus of this dissertation was to develop and clinically implement Pulse Wave Imaging
(PWI), an ultrasound elasticity imaging-based method for the visualization and spatio …
