Hemodynamic and Geometrical Parameters Associated with Carotid Artery Stenosis: A Cross-Sectional Study Using 4D Flow MRI and CFD.
PURPOSE Carotid geometry and local hemodynamics are closely associated with atherosclerosis, yet how anatomy and disturbed flow jointly mark disease presence and relate to pro-atherogenic flow in still-non-stenosed bifurcations remains unresolved. This study quantifies the cross-sectional association between three-dime...
