4D Computational Modeling of Basilar Artery for Aneurysm Study - In Vivo Deformation of the Human Basilar Artery - Ann Biomed Eng 2024 Sep

  • First to quantify in vivo neurovascular wall strains of the human basilar artery over the cardiac cycle.

  • Demonstrated 4D computational model construction from 4D biomedical data, enabling detailed local deformation analysis for patient-specific aneurysm risk assessment.
