Data driven approach to identify vulnerable plaques in carotid atherosclerosis using computed tomography imaging and computational fluid dynamics: A pilot study

The current clinical gold standard for identifying vulnerable plaque is plaque Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). However, owing to its limited availability, many patients do not have access. This pilot study aims to explore whether computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling, es...

Fluid dynamics-informed CCTA-derived geometric parameters in right coronary artery anomalies predict abnormal invasive Adenosine-FFR and Dobutamine-FFR.

Background Traditional anatomical assessment of stenosis in right anomalous aortic origin of coronary arteries (R-AAOCA) may not capture the complex, eccentrically shaped lumen and its perimeter-dependent resistance, and may therefore underestimate flow limitation. R-AAOCA involv...
