ME 52000 - Imaging-Based Computational Hemodynamics For Cardiovascular Assessment
Credit Hours: 3.00. Image-based computational hemodynamics is a newly-emerged computational technique for non-invasive and patient-specific assessment of cardiovascular diseases based on medical imaging data. In this course, students will learn (1) concepts and principles of cardiovascular circulation in the human body and imaging modalities for cardiovascular diseases; (2) image-based computational modeling methods for quantification of hemodynamics (velocity, pressure, and wall-shear stress) in human vessels based on CT/MRI and Doppler ultrasound imaging data; and (3) computational analysis to assess the severity of cardiovascular diseases. Team projects to non-invasively assess the severity of arterial stenosis in renal, iliac, and coronary arteries via quantification of trans-stenotic pressure gradient and/or fractional flow reserve will provide first-hand experience of how computational modeling and analysis can contribute to medical innovation and advanced precision medicine.Credits: 3.00
