Developing a Hemodynamic Model for Improving Clinical Treatment of Vascular Diseases

由血管疾病引起的中风是第二大单一杀手，每年在澳大利亚夺走数千人的生命，造成数十亿美元的损失。因此，改善这些疾病的现有临床治疗是当务之急。本项目旨在通过全面的实验验证方法开发可靠的血液动力学模型。它不仅将促进对血管疾病的更深入研究，还将为医生或外科医生提供虚拟预测工具，以制定临床治疗的诊断和治疗计划，为澳大利亚社区的健康带来巨大的社会经济效益。

Stroke caused by vascular diseases is the second greatest single killer, which is taking away thousands of lives and costing billions every year in Australia. Improving the existing clinical treatments of these diseases is thus of utmost urgency. This project is targeted to developing a reliable Hemodynamic model through comprehensive experimental validation approach. It will not only foster a more in-depth research of vascular diseases but also provide a virtual forecasting tool for physicians or surgeons to develop guidance on diagnosis and therapeutic planning of clinical treatment, which brings great socio-economic benefit to the health of the Australian community.
