Establishment of a Computational Cerebro-Vascular Research Facility

Establishment of a Computational Cerebro-vascular Research Facility

Objective

• Development of a state-of-the-art facility for computational technology-derived healthcare solutions for Cerebro-vascular diseases., Effective real-time patient management and clinical decision protocol development., Focussed Research on mechanobiological aspects of Cerebro-vascular diseases using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and fluid-structure interactions (FSI)., Providing scientific derivations and interpretations of brain angiographic data., Real-time integration of haemodynamic maps on angiographic data

Description

• Cerebro-vascular diseases form a compact niche of non-communicable diseases requiring highly specialised treatment skills and facilities with advanced technology., The catastrophe that results is preventable in a majority of patients, provided they seek the right treatment at the right time. Currently there exists a gap area in clinical decision making in the management of such patients., In collaboration with neurosurgeons and neuro-radiologists, we are looking forward to set up a Computational Cerebro-vascular Research Facility, which will be a unique venture dedicated to the use of computational technology in the research and management of cerebro-vascular diseases.

Impact

• Computational methods have the potential to spearhead advancements in the medical management of cerebrovascular diseases, improving the clinical outcome of patients., It is deemed to be unique with collaborating neurosurgeons and neuroradiologists from leading research hospitals in India.
