Blood flow in the arterial circulation induces hemodynamic forces that play an important role in various forms of vascular diseases. Temporal variation of the wall shear stress seems to play a significant role in atherogenesis and plaque stability. Flow in ...
Due to the pulsatile nature of blood flow, arteries are constantly exposed to dynamic mechanical forces; the pulsatility continuously stretches the vessel wall and the flow creates a frictional force on the interior surface. These stresses, referred to as ...
The detection and prognosis of prostate cancer in its early stages are critically important. It is therefore essential to improve the existing dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE MRI) techniques commonly used for the assessment of the tumour vascular enviro ...
Using a small, but very instructive experiment, it is demonstrated that laser-Doppler flowmetry (LDF) at large interoptode spacing represents a unique tool for new investigations of thermoregulatory processes modulating the blood flow of small muscle masse ...

To analyse cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hydrodynamics in patients with Chiari type I malformation (CM) with and without syringomyelia using 4D magnetic resonance (MR) phase contrast (PC) flow imaging. 4D-PC CSF flow data were acquired in 20 patients with CM ( ...
Measurement of arterial input function is a restrictive aspect for quantitative 18F-FDG PET studies in rodents because of their small total blood volume and the related difficulties in withdrawing blood. METHODS: In the present study, we took advantage of ...
This thesis is intended to contribute to the field of biomechanics of growth and remodeling of arteries. The work focuses particularly on growth and remodeling caused by sustained hypertension, increased blood flow, and ageing. A structure-based constituti ...
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are promising tools as drug delivery devices. However, upon intravenous injection, they aggregate and are rapidly eliminated from the systemic circulation by macrophages in the reticuloendothelial system, resulting in relatively s ...
The mechanical interactions between heart contraction and perfusion of the heart are difficult to study in humans because of the restrictions in inducing changes in hemodynamic and cardiac mechanics parameters during catheterization. We hypothesize that th ...
