Heart attacks and strokes are caused by cardiovascular diseases that disturb, or are disturbed by, blood flow patterns. These flow patterns are difficult to image or measure directly in patients, which can make it harder for doctors to properly diagnosis and treat these diseases. Our research has sought to overcome this via the integration of medical imaging and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). An essential ingredient has been our development of medical imaging simulations, which allow us to understand how disturbed flow can alter the appearance of arteries and blood flow in the clinical images that we rely on for our CFD models.

心脏病发作和中风是由心血管疾病引起的，这些疾病扰乱了血流模式，或者被血流模式所扰乱。这些流动模式很难在患者体内直接成像或测量，这使得医生更难正确诊断和治疗这些疾病。我们的研究试图通过医学成像和计算流体动力学（CFD）的整合来克服这一点。一个重要的组成部分是我们开发的医学成像模拟，这使我们能够了解扰动流如何改变我们依赖于CFD模型的临床图像中的动脉和血流的外观。
