  2. 1. Extending MRI to the Quantification of Turbulence Intensity

    Author : Petter Dyverfeldt; Tino Ebbers; Krishna Nayak; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Turbulence intensity; cardiovascular disease; blood flow; hemodynamics; magnetic resonance imaging; generalized phase-contrast MRI; turbulent flow; Medical technology; Medicinsk teknik; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

    Abstract : In cardiovascular medicine, the assessment of blood flow is fundamental to the understanding and detection of disease. Many pharmaceutical, interventional, and surgical treatments impact the flow. The primary purpose of the cardiovascular system is to drive, control and maintain blood flow to all parts of the body.

  4. 2. Automated Assessment of Blood Flow in the Cardiovascular System Using 4D Flow MRI

    Author : Mariana Bustamante; Tino Ebbers; Carljohan Carlhäll; Petter Dyverfeldt; Michael Markl; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MRI; 4D Flow MRI; Image Analysis; Segmentation;

    Abstract : Medical image analysis focuses on the extraction of meaningful information from medical images in order to facilitate clinical assessment, diagnostics and treatment. Image processing techniques have gradually become an essential part of the modern health care system, a consequence of the continuous technological improvements and the availability of a variety of medical imaging techniques.

  5. 3. Towards Personalized Models of the Cardiovascular System Using 4D Flow MRI

    Author : Belén Casas Garcia; Tino Ebbers; Jonas Lantz; Petter Dyverfeldt; Carljohan Carlhäll; Frans van de Vosse; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Magnetic resonance imaging; 4D Flow MRI; Computational modelling; Blood flow; Hemodynamics;

    Abstract : Current diagnostic tools for assessing cardiovascular disease mostly focus on measuring a given biomarker at a specific spatial location where an abnormality is suspected. However, as a result of the dynamic and complex nature of the cardiovascular system, the analysis of isolated biomarkers is generally not sufficient to characterize the pathological mechanisms behind a disease.

  6. 4. Interrogating Atherosclerotic Plaque Biology Through Responses to Cardiovascular Risk Management and Imaging

    Author : Elin Good; Ebo de Muinck; Petter Dyverfeldt; Tiny Jaarsma; Dick Wågsäter; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis causes more deaths than any other disease worldwide, and the cause of death is most commonly a rupture of a vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque, resulting in a thrombotic event in the heart or brain. The major risk factors for plaque progression are well known, but all the mechanisms that drive atherosclerotic plaques towards catastrophic events are not yet fully elucidated. READ MORE

  7. 5. Assessment of Ventricular Function in Normal and Failing Hearts Using 4D Flow CMR

    Author : Jakub Zajac; Carljohan Carlhäll; Tino Ebbers; Petter Dyverfeldt; Victor A. Ferrari; Linköpings universitet; []
