A Probabilistic Neural Twin for Treatment Planning in Peripheral Pulmonary Artery Stenosis [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The substantial computational cost of high-fidelity models in numerical hemodynamics has, so far, relegated their use mainly to offline treatment planning. New breakthroughs in data-driven architectures and optimization techniques for fast surrogate modeling provide an exciting opportunity to overcome these limitations, enabling the use of such ...
