Abstract

Pathological changes in blood flow lead to altered hemodynamic forces, which are responsible for a number of conditions related to the remodeling and regeneration of the vasculature. More specifically, wall shear stress (WSS) has been shown to be a significant hemodynamic parameter with respect to aneurysm growth and rupture, as well as plaque activation leading to increased risk of stroke. In-vivo measurement of shear stress is difficult due to the stringent requirements on spatial resolution near the wall boundaries, as well as the deviation from the commonly assumed parabolic flow behavior at the wall. In this work, we propose an experimental method of in-vitro WSS calculations from high-temporal resolution velocity distributions, which are derived from 1000 fps high-speed angiography (HSA). The high-spatial and temporal resolution of our HSA detector makes such high-resolution velocity gradient measurements feasible. Presented here is the methodology for calculation of WSS in the imaging plane, as well as initial results for a variety of vascular geometries at physiologically realistic flow rates. Further, the effect of spatial resolution on the gradient calculation is explored using CFD-derived velocity data. Such angiographic-based analysis with HSA has the potential to provide critical hemodynamic feedback in an interventional setting, with the overarching objective of supporting clinical decision-making and improving patient outcomes.
