Medical CFD, the FDA and Simulating the Virtual Patient

摘要

CD-adapco's Kristian Debus, Ph.D., says that in the medical field, many professionals are trying to get simple answers: Doctors want a yes or no. For example, in current work on aneurisms at Tufts University, a brain surgeon is studying scan data of blood vessel walls. He's examining blood flow patterns and the wall thickness at an aneurism, to try to find correlations between the visual inspection and the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results.
