On the Importance of Blood Rheology for Bulk Flow in Hemodynamic Models of the Carotid Bifurcation
Published in Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI
Carotid imaging studies may benefit from the improved SNR and larger coverage provided by use of the 8PA.

Numerical models of carotid bifurcation were constructed using a combination of tuning-fork bifurcation and straight or curved common carotid. The different inlet velocity profiles of the common carotid were generated for Bloch flow waveform and Holdsworth flow waveform, respectively. The effects of the different flow waveform for the common caroti...

The asymmetric inlet velocity profile has been observed in phantom model using LDA and in health subjects using Magnet Resonance (MR). The effects of asymmetric inlet axial velocity profile on the flow field and the Wall Shear Stress (WSS) of carotid bifurcation were numerically studied herein with the TF-AHCB model. The results show that the Wall ...
