Omni-tomography: Next-generation Biomedical Imaging [PDF]
Omni-tomography is enabled by interior tomography that has been developed over the past five years. By omni-tomography, we envision that the next stage of biomedical imaging will be the grand fusion of many tomographic modalities into a single gantry (all in one) for simultaneous data acquisition of numerous complementary features (all at once).

Efficient Parallel Simulation of Atherosclerotic Plaque Formation Using Higher Order Discontinuous Galerkin Schemes [PDF]
The compact Discontinuous Galerkin 2 (CDG2) method was successfully tested for elliptic problems, scalar convection-diffusion equations and compressible Navier-Stokes equations. In this paper we use the newly developed DG method to solve a mathematical model for early stages of atherosclerotic plaque formation.

High-Intensity Helical Flow: A Double-Edged Sword in Coronary Artery Haemodynamics [PDF]
The role of Helical Flow (HF) in human coronary arteries remains uncertain, yet its understanding promises unprecedented insights into atherosclerotic processes. In this study, we investigated the effects of HF and key haemodynamic descriptors in 39 patient-specific left coronary artery trees from the ASOCA dataset, including 20 non-stenosed and 19 ...

Carotid Artery Plaque Analysis in 3D Based on Distance Encoding in Mesh Representations [PDF]
Purpose: Enabling a comprehensive and robust assessment of carotid artery plaques in 3D through extraction and visualization of quantitative plaque parameters. These parameters have potential applications in stroke risk analysis, evaluation of therapy effectiveness, and plaque progression prediction.
