ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2018.00742 | Abstract: | The emergence of new cardiac diagnostics and therapeutics of the heart has given rise to the challenging field of virtual design and testing of technologies in a patient-specific environment. Given the recent advances in medical imaging, computational power and mathematical algorithms, patient-specific cardiac models can be produced from cardiac images faster, and more efficiently than ever before. The emergence of patient-specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has paved the way for the new field of computer-aided diagnostics. This article provides a review of CFD methods, challenges and opportunities in coronary and intra-cardiac flow simulations. It includes a review of market products and clinical trials. Key components of patient-specific CFD are covered briefly which include image segmentation, geometry reconstruction, mesh generation, fluid-structure interaction, and solver techniques. © 2018 Zhong, Zhang, Su, Tan, Allen and Kassab. | Source Title: | Frontiers in Physiology | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/175378 | ISSN: | 1664-042X | DOI: | 10.3389/fphys.2018.00742 |
