Abstract

The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a biomedical fluid contained within the central nervous system (CNS). It is produced in the ventricular system within the brain and is contained between the meninges, which are membranes lining the brain and the inside of the spine and cranium. It has a major role as a damper that protects the head from injuries and transports biochemical elements and proteins inside the brain. In this paper a three dimensional (3D) model of the human ventricular system (HVS) is used to investigate the flow of CSF within the human brain, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). CSF can be modelled as a Newtonian fluid and its flow through the HVS can be visualized using CFD. In this investigation a 3D geometric model of the HVS is constructed from MRI data. It is the only model of its type to date. The flow of CSF within the HVS is a complicated phenomenon due to the complex HVS geometry. Understanding the nature of CSF flow allows engineers and physicians to design medical techniques and drugs to treat various HVS complications, such as hydrocephalus as a result of a tumour

人类中枢神经系统内脑脊液流动的三维可视化

脑脊液(CSF)是一种包含在中枢神经系统(CNS)中的生物医学液体。它在大脑的脑室系统中产生，并包含在脑膜之间，脑膜是大脑和脊柱和头盖骨内部的膜。它的主要作用是作为一个阻尼器，保护头部免受伤害，并在大脑内运输生化元素和蛋白质。本文采用计算流体动力学(CFD)方法，建立了人体脑室系统(HVS)的三维模型来研究脑脊液在人脑中的流动。CSF可以建模为牛顿流体，并且可以使用CFD可视化其在HVS中的流动。在本研究中，利用MRI数据构建了HVS的三维几何模型。这是迄今为止同类型的唯一型号。由于HVS复杂的几何结构，CSF在HVS内的流动是一个复杂的现象。了解脑脊液流动的本质使工程师和医生能够设计医疗技术和药物来治疗各种HVS并发症，如肿瘤引起的脑积水
