Computational haemodynamics system for prediction of risk of rupture of cerebral aneurysms

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Every year about 2000 Australians suffer a ruptured aneurysm in the brain and some 750 of these die within 4 weeks. Since there is an increase in the detection of unruptured aneurysms, especially in healthy young people, there is an urgent need to be able to decide which lead to rupture and to provide suitable treatment options. This project, which will provide markedly improved means of patient-specific risk determination for aneurysm rupture, will have significant impact in reducing associated costs on the national health burden due to cerebral hemorrhage and stroke, on community productivity and disability and on more efficient targeting of expensive and dangerous brain surgery.
