2A1-I08 Photoelastic Stress Analysis on Patient-Specific Anatomical Model of Cerebral Artery

Abstract

An in Vitro patient-specific vasculature model of human arterial system, for simulating endovascular intervention for evaluating surgical instruments and preliminary simulating surgical procedures, is presented. Presented vasculature model precisely reproduce the thin membranous configuration artery, in addition to its physical characteristic such as elastic modulus and friction coefficient. Applying photoelastic method, proposed simulator visualize stress condition on vascular wall arisen from surgical operations and blood streaming, allowing very detailed practical evaluation for respective purposes.
