Methodology for implementing patient-specific spatial boundary condition during a cardiac cycle from phase-contrast MRI for hemodynamic assessment
A methodology for patient-specific hemodynamic computation was developed. Performed with patient-specific velocity data and patient-specific geometry. Time- and spatially-varying velocity from PC-MRI and geometry from MR angiograms. Modeled complex developing flow in human pulmonary artery distal to pulmonary valve. Clinical relevance being fully non-invasive in its data requirements.
