Abstract:The human aorta undergoes complex morphologic changes that indicate the evolution of disease. Finite element analysis enables the prediction of aortic pathologic states, but the absence of a biomechanical understanding hinders the applicability of this computational tool. We incorporate geometric information from computed tomography angiography (CTA) imaging scans into finite element analysis (FEA) to predict a trajectory of future geometries for four aortic disease patients. Through defining a geometric corre… Show more
