Project Title: Modeling of Cardiac Biomechanics
Group: Cardiovascular Biomechanics and CFU
Supervisors: Marie Sand Traberg, Matthias Bo Stuart, Jørgen Arendt Jensen
Project Description:
The main objective of this project is to build a modeling pipeline for estimating intra-cardiac flow patterns from 4D (3D+time) images of the human heart. The pipeline is intended for patient-specific data and is based on geometry prescribed computational fluid dynamics. The pipeline is validated by phantom studies and state-of-the-art ultrasound techniques.
Perspective:
The flow patterns inside your heart likely contain information about your cardiac health. An automated pipeline for estimating these intra-cardiac flow patterns might one day be a vital tool helping doctors make informed decisions in diagnosis and treatment of cardiac diseases. The pipeline is meant to work “at the push of a button” and this project aims to prove that such a “button” can be made.
