Does computational fluid dynamics based on MDCTA accurately assess aortic hemodynamics in infants with congenital heart disease?
CFD simulations using MDCTA data provide a noninvasive approach for assessing aortic hemodynamics and diagnosing conditions like aortic coarctation in infants with CHD.
Our result demonstrated that CFD scheme based on MDCTA raw data is an accurate and convenient method in obtaining the velocity and pressure from aorta and displaying the distribution of PSWSS and flow pattern of aorta. The preliminary results from our study demonstrate the capability in combining clinical imaging data and novel CFD tools in infants with CHD and provide a noninvasive approach for diagnose of CHD such as coarctation of aorta in future.
