Future work

The final goal of developing SFDM is to integrate it to medical imaging devices to provide clinicians with a rapid and reliable estimate of the efficiency of the flow diverter which they plan to implant in a patient. The main future work can be focused on two aspects:

5.2 Future work 87 Screen based flow diverter model aspect. As we have seen from the results, SFDM produces similar velocity and WSS fields as the fully resolved simulation, but we still need to improve the accuracy. For example, more numerical experiments are needed to find out where the error comes from and analyze how to solve them. Besides, in order to develop the framework into a mature method, a systematical experiments on many patient-specific stented aneurysms needs to be carried out.

Application aspect. For the next step of application, our approach needs to be integrated to medical imaging devices. The implementation of SFDM requires the geometry of the deployed flow diverter. Therefore, to estimate the impact of the flow diverter, first the the geometries of the artery and aneurysm are needed. 3D rotational anigography is the common medical imagery for this purpose. Then the uncompressed flow diverter should be virtually deployed in the aneurysm. Due to the highly irregular manifold aneurysm shapes and locations, the choice of the stent and the deployment strategy can be a very difficult decision [32]. After the flow diverter stent is deployed, SFDM could be used for the next step: the simulation of the blood flow through flow diverter. Therefore, in order to be ultimately employed by clinicians, all these steps need to be integrated into imaging devices.
