Cardiovascular Research Laboratory Mechanical Engineering and Stanford School of Medicine Develop theoretical, computational, and experimental technology to quantify anatomic structure and physiologic response of the human vascular system. Implement methods for improving vascular disease diagnosis, surgical planning, and prosthesis design. Presents very clear descriptions of the lab's projects with high quality visual images and animated clips. Provides links to outside resources. Focuses more on surgical planning than medical device design.
Cardiovascular applications are one component of the lab's research focus.
