      Background If undetected, infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) growth can lead to rupture, a high-mortality complication. Some AAA patients exhibit inhomogeneous luminal contrast attenuation at first-pass CT ...

    • CT Coronary Angiography: 256-Slice and 320-Detector Row Scanners 

      Hsiao, Edward M.; Rybicki, Frank; Steigner, Michael L. (Springer Nature, 2010)
      Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) has rapidly evolved from 4-detector row systems in 1998 to 256-slice and 320-detector row CT systems. With smaller detector element size and faster gantry rotation speed, spatial ...

    • Evaluation of Artery Visualizations for Heart Disease Diagnosis 

      Borkin, Michelle Anne; Gajos, Krzysztof Z.; Peters, Amanda Elizabeth; Mitsouras, Dimitrios; Melchionna, Simone; Rybicki, Frank John; Feldman, Charles Lawrence; Pfister, Hanspeter (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2011)
      Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States, and finding indicators of the disease at an early stage is critical for treatment and prevention. In this paper we evaluate visualization techniques that enable ...

    • Hydrokinetic Approach to Large-Scale Cardiovascular Blood Flow 

      Melchionna, Simone; Bernaschi, Massimo; Succi, Sauro; Kaxiras, Efthimios; Rybicki, Frank John; Mitsouras, Dimitris; Coskun, Ahmet U.; Feldman, Charles Lawrence (Elsevier, 2010)
      We present a computational method for commodity hardware-based clinical cardiovascular diagnosis based on accurate simulation of cardiovascular blood flow. Our approach leverages the flexibility of the Lattice Boltzmann ...
