Colloquium: Multilevel Patient Specific Artery and Atherogenesis Models, Prof. Dimitris Fotiadis (University of Ioannina, Greece), Monday, June 27, 2011, 09:30-10:30 EET.
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Cyprus cordially invites you to the Colloquium entitled:
Multilevel Patient Specific Artery and Atherogenesis Models
 |
Speaker: Prof. Dimitris Fotiadis |
Abstract:
We present a platform for the development of multiscale cpatient specific artery and atherogenesis models. The platform, called ARTool, integrates technologies of 3D image reconstruction from various image modalities, blood flow and biological models of mass transfer, plaque characterization and plaque growth. Patient images are acquired for the development of the 3D model of the patient specific arteries. Then, blood flow is modeled within the arterial models for the calculation of the Wall Shear Stress distribution (WSS). WSS is combined with other patient specific parameters for the development of the plaque progression models. Real time simulation can be performed for same cases in grid environment. The platform is evaluated using both animal and human data.
