The technology, which mimics the body’s natural clotting process, could help keep severely injured people alive until they are treated at a hospital. Anne Trafton | MIT News Office Publication Date: April 25, 2023 MIT engineers have designed a two-component system that can be injected into the body and help form blood Read more…
The world’s most advanced 3D anatomy platform Elsevier launches Complete Anatomy 2023, the world’s first and most expansive 3D human anatomy model featuring different skin tones and facial features. The platform is the first of its kind to tackle the centuries-long absence of non-white bodies in anatomy learning and features Read more…
Aneurysm Coiling Treatment We are pleased to inform you that our article “Influence of the coiling porosity on the risk reduction of the cerebral aneurysm rupture: computational study” has been published in Nature Scientific Reports and is available online.The open-access paper has just been published today and you can read Read more…
Aneurysm Clipping Clipping is a tried-and-true method of treating an aneurysm, a bulge in a weak area of an artery. Artery walls are under constant pressure from the high-pressure blood flow inside them. The constant pressure can cause a weak area of the wall to balloon out, forming an aneurysm. Read more…
“By simulating the flow of blood through the different designs in Fluent and visualizing the outcomes in CFX, the researchers at The Kidney Project could measure blood flow velocity precisely, identify areas where clots were likely to form and understand why those spots created opportunities for clotting and then incorporate Read more…
ANSYS ADVANTAGE MAGAZINE By Ansys Advantage Staff Each year, thousands of people die as a result of aortic aneurysms — balloon-like bulges caused by weaknesses in the aortas, the large artery that sends blood from the heart through the vascular system. If an aneurysm remains undetected, the aorta can eventually tear Read more…
Endovascular Coiling Endovascular coiling is a procedure performed to block blood flow into an aneurysm (a weakened area in the wall of an artery). Endovascular coiling is a more recent treatment for brain aneurysms; it has been used in patients since 1991. Endovascular coiling is a minimally invasive technique, which Read more…
Description of geometric indices Parent vessel geometric characterization Given the 3D surface model, vessel centerlines are computed for all the available segments and are available for download on the website. Only the tract hosting the aneurysm is used for the geometric characterization. The segment under investigation is extracted from the Read more…
What is a cerebral aneurysm? A cerebral aneurysm is a bulge in a weak area of the wall of a brain artery. It puffs out like a small balloon and fills with blood. It is also called an intracranial aneurysm or brain aneurysm. This bulge makes the artery more likely Read more…
3D Blood Flow Simulation Bio-medical researchers have been relying on computational fluid dynamics to model and understand the physical mechanisms behind the formation and progression of hemodynamic disorders. Wall shear stress (WSS) exerted on the walls of the blood vessel due to the flow of blood is one of the Read more…
