Coronary flow is different from the flow in other parts of the arterial system because it is
influenced by the contraction and relaxation of the heart. To model coronary flow …

Coronary artery disease contributes to a third of global deaths, afflicting seventeen million
individuals in the United States alone. To understand the role of hemodynamics in coronary …

Over the last decade, highly innovative micro-fabrication techniques have been developed
that are set to revolutionise the biomedical industry. Fabrication processes, such as …

This paper describes an algorithm that forms a retinal vessel graph by analysing the
potential connectivity of segmented retinal vessels. Self organizing feature maps (SOFMs) …

The field of invasive and interventional cardiology is dynamic with frequent advances in both
technique and technology. An internationally-renowned team of editors and over 100 …

We present a framework for the construction of vascular systems based on optimality
principles of theoretical physiology. Given the position and flow distribution of end points of a …

This paper introduces a new computerized tool for accurate manual measurement of
features of retinal bifurcation geometry, designed for use in investigating correlations …

Today, many patients suffer from acute liver failure and hepatoma. This is an area of high
unmet clinical need as these conditions are associated with very high mortality. There is an …

Biomechanics relates the function of a physiological system to its structure. The objective of
biomechanics is to deduce the function of a system from its geometry, material properties …

The main objective of this thesis is the development of particle-based flow and transport
models to assist in the characterization of small-scale flow features and provide insight into …
