Simulations improve predictability of aneurysm development

Using new computer models of blood flow in the vicinity of cerebral aneurysms (dilated sections of blood vessels in the brain), it is now possible to calculate every detail of the patient-specific situation. This has resulted in powerful new techniques for predicting a further weakening or even rupture of the blood vessel’s wall, and for effective intervention. Julia Mikhal was awarded a PhD on this topic by the University of Twente.
