Fluid and structural modeling of the disease-free and atherosclerotic human carotid bifurcation
… the diseased artery. If the actual vessel is the carotid artery, this often leads to a stroke. The focus of this study is to analyze the blood flow and arterial wall motion in the carotid bifurcation, a frequently diseased site of the cerebral circulation. Using ultrasound velocity measurements …

Identification of potential clinical indicators of carotid plaque disruption using patient specific finite element modelling
… these goals, patient specific geometries of the carotid bifurcation were developed from computerised tomographic angiography and excised plaques were tested to create material constitutive models. A remodelling algorithm was developed to predict the fibre architecture within complex geometries …

Classification of atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability by mechano-radiomics
… magnetic resonance (MR) images can help evaluate carotid plaque vulnerability better than conventional MR methods. Hemodynamic forces have long been associated with the destabilization of developed plaques near regions of complex blood flow e.g., the carotid bifurcation, which results in high wall …

Predictive haemodynamics of the human carotid artery
… parametrically defined geometry of the human carotid artery bifurcation to better understand the relationship between a range of parameters and the associated haemodynamics and to devise strategies to provide guidance for clinical interventions and to assist in the design of stents and grafts. …

Improved qualification of vascular abnormalities in contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiographic images
… stroke is the percentage of the narrowing in the carotid arteries, which lead blood from the heart to the brain, which currently is quantified manually. This project is in collaboration with Blackpool Victoria Hospital and Christies Hospital in Manchester. The aim of this project is to develop …

Employing Fluid Structure Interaction Analyses to Reveal Insights in Atherosclerotic Progression in the Carotid Artery
… response of an anatomically realistic carotid artery using 1-way coupled Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI). We computationally analyzed blood flow in 4 stages of carotid artery stenoses (0%, 30%, 60% and 80%) at 3 levels of orientation of the stenosis with bulk flow direction. We …
