Abstract: Current in vivo abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) imaging approaches tend to focus on maximum diameter but do not measure three-dimensional (3D) vascular deformation or strain. Complex vessel geometries, heterogeneous wall ...

Abstract: Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a neglected tropical disease despite the substantial global health burden. In this study, we aimed to develop a lower cost method of modeling aortic blood flow using subject-specific velocity ...

Abstract: Measurement of internal intervertebral disc strain is paramount for understanding the underlying mechanisms of injury and validating computational models. Although advancements in noninvasive imaging and image processing ...

Abstract: Quantifying dynamic strain fields from time-resolved volumetric medical imaging and microscopy stacks is a pressing need for radiology and mechanobiology. A critical limitation of all existing techniques is regularization: ...

Abstract: Computational modeling of cardiovascular flows is becoming increasingly important in a range of biomedical applications, and understanding the fundamentals of computational modeling is important for engineering students. ...

Abstract: An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a permanent localized expansion of the abdominal aorta with mortality rate of up to 90% after rupture. AAA growth is a process of vascular degeneration accompanied by a reduction in ...
