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

每年约有2000名澳大利亚人患有脑动脉瘤破裂，其中约750人在4周内死亡。由于对未破裂动脉瘤的检测有所增加，特别是在健康的年轻人中，因此迫切需要能够确定导致破裂的原因并提供适当的治疗方案。该项目将显著改进确定动脉瘤破裂的具体病人风险的方法，将对减少脑出血和中风造成的全国卫生负担的相关费用、社区生产力和残疾以及更有效地开展昂贵和危险的脑外科手术产生重大影响。

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.
