Design of new reliable CFD-based estimation of flow rate: Early in-vivo results

Abstract

In the present work a new approach for the blood flow rate estimate is discussed together with the performances results on both computational fluid dynamics and in vivo datasets. In the mean time the comparison of this new method against the standard one used in clinics during catheterization in Doppler based flow rate estimate is provided showing important limitation of the latter and possible concrete enhancements using the new one proposed herein.
