Using MRI Data to Model Blood Flow

Computational fluid dynamics, or CFD, can model blood flow from patient- or animal-specific vessels. In this approach, subject-based vessel segmentations are built first. Then open-source and commercial tools are combined to create a high-resolution numerical solution inside a flow model.

These s...

Computational fluid dynamic simulations are used to analyze blood flow in patient vasculature to guide diagnostics and treatment. Computational fluid dynamics, or CFD, uses numerical analysis methods to model fluid flow and simulate realistic conditions for many different flow scenarios, such as the fluid flow around a high-speed airplane, throu...
