Shrnutí:We present a novel, cost-efficient methodology to simulate aortic haemodynamics in a patient-specific, compliant aorta using an MRI data fusion process. Based on a previously-developed Moving Boundary Method, this technique circumvents the high computational cost and numerous structural modelling assumptions required by traditional Fluid-Structure Interaction techniques. Without the need for Computed Tomography (CT) data, the MRI images required to construct the simulation can be obtained during a single imaging session. Black Blood MR Angiography and 2D Cine-MRI data were used to reconstruct the luminal geometry and calibrate wall movement specifically to each region of the aorta. 4D-Flow MRI and non-invasive pressure measurements informed patient-specific inlet and outlet boundary conditions. Luminal area closely matched 2D Cine-MRI measurements with a mean error of less than 4.6% across the cardiac cycle, while physiological pressure and flow distributions were simulated to within 3.3% of patient-specific targets. Moderate agreement with 4D-Flow MRI velocity data was observed. Despite lower peak velocity, an equivalent rigid-wall simulation predicted a mean Time-Averaged Wall Shear Stress (TAWSS) 13% higher than the compliant simulation. The agreement observed between compliant simulation results and MRI data is testament to the accuracy and efficiency of this MRI-based simulation technique.
