The purpose of this article is to review studies of aneurysm risk factors and the suggested
hypotheses that connect the different risk factors and the underlying mechanisms governing …

Many factors that are either blood-, wall-, or hemodynamics-borne have been associated
with the initiation, growth, and rupture of intracranial aneurysms. The distribution of cerebral …

Background and Purpose—The ability to discriminate between ruptured and unruptured
cerebral aneurysms on a morphological basis may be useful in clinical risk stratification. The …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cerebral aneurysms are preferentially located at arterial
curvatures and bifurcations that are exposed to major hemodynamic forces, increasingly …

Background Rupture is the most serious consequence of cerebral aneurysms, and its
likelihood depends on nonmodifiable and modifiable risk factors. Recent efforts have …

Introduction Hemodynamics is thought to play a very important role in the initiation, growth,
and rupture of intracranial aneurysms. The purpose of our study was to compare …

The aim of this study was to validate the flow patterns measured by high‐resolution, time‐
resolved, three‐dimensional phase contrast MRI in a real‐size intracranial aneurysm …

Cerebrovascular accidents are the third most common cause of death in developed
countries. Over recent years, CFD simulations using medical image-based anatomical …

This book offers detailed guidance on the diagnostic use of cerebral angiography based on
precise description of the angiographic appearances of normal anatomy and pathological …

The assessment of both geometry and hemodynamics of the intracranial arteries has
important diagnostic value in internal carotid occlusion, sickle cell disease, and aneurysm …
