Inverse modeling approaches in cardiovascular medicine are a collection of methodologies
that can provide non-invasive patient-specific estimations of tissue properties, mechanical …

Aortic diseases, such as aneurysms, atherosclerosis, and dissections, demonstrate a
preferential development and progression around the aortic circumference, resulting in a …

Purpose The goal of this study was to determine the accuracy of displacement‐encoding
with stimulated echoes (DENSE) MRI in a tissue motion phantom with displacements …

While the degree of cerebellar tonsillar descent is considered the primary radiologic marker
of Chiari malformation type I (CMI), biomechanical forces acting on the brain tissue in CMI …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm patients are regularly monitored to assess aneurysm
development and risk of rupture. A preventive surgical procedure is recommended when the …

Objective The rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is associated with high
mortality despite surgical developments. The determination of aneurysm diameter allows for …

The establishment of in vivo, noninvasive patient-specific, and regionally resolved
techniques to quantify aortic properties is key to improving clinical risk assessment and …

Wall shear stress (WSS) is an important mediator of cardiovascular pathologies and there is
a need for its reliable evaluation as a potential prognostic indicator. The purpose of this work …

Displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) MRI is a phase contrast technique
that allows the encoding of tissue displacement into the phase of the magnetic resonance …

Ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (aTAAs) can lead to life-threatening dissection and
rupture. Recent studies have highlighted aTAA mechanical properties as relevant factors …
