Purpose Image-based blood flow simulations are increasingly used to investigate the hemodynamics in intracranial aneurysms (IAs). However, a strong variability in segmentation approaches as well as the absence of individualized boundary conditions (BCs) influence the quality of these simulation results leading to imprecision and decreased reliability. This study aims to analyze these influences on relevant hemodynamic paramete...

Purpose For the status evaluation of intracranial aneurysms (IAs), morphological and hemodynamic parameters can provide valuable information. For their extraction, a separation of the aneurysm sac from its parent vessel is required that yields the neck curve and the ostium. However, manual and subjective neck curve and ostium definitions might lead to inaccurate IA assessments. Methods The research project VICTORIA was initiat...
