Research Abstract |
Feasibility study of ultrasonic-measurement-integrated (UMI) simulation, in which feedback signals are added to the governing equations based on errors between ultrasonic measurement and numerical simulation, was performed to obtain accurate and detailed information of hemodynamics in small animals. Flow channel whose ultrasound image was similar to that of an artery in a small animal was made from PVA gel. By experiments measuring flows in flow channels and real blood flows in mouse carotid artery or in human finger artery, the computational accuracy of UMI simulation was improved, showing the feasibility of in vivo measurement.
