Key result
New computer simulation model characterizes brachiocephalic atherosclerosis using patient imaging data.
Why the study?
The diagnosis of atherosclerosis currently relies on imaging methods, but simulation computer models of the atherosclerotic process represent a promising diagnostic and predictive tool.
Population
4 patients with varying degrees of stenosis from CT angiography and Doppler ultrasound
Comparison
Normal vascular conditions vs atherosclerotic changes in brachiocephalic arteries and circle of Willis
Design
Computer simulation model using finite element method and mathematical fluid dynamics modeling

Simulation models may enhance atherosclerosis diagnosis; leaves open whether they outperform current imaging or alter outcomes in practice.
A computer simulation model of brachiocephalic arteries and the circle of Willis was developed to study hemodynamics and assist in diagnosing atherosclerosis.
EVGENIA I. SLUCHANKO (2022) studied Atherosclerosis (n=4). Computer simulation model of the atherosclerotic process was evaluated on Development of a simulation computer model and application. A computer simulation model of the atherosclerotic process in brachiocephalic arteries was developed using imaging data from 4 patients to aid in diagnosing atherosclerosis.
