Abstract

In this paper, a workflow within the VPH-DARE@IT Clinical Research Platform is presented. This is used to model the biomechanical behaviour of perfused brain tissue. This workflow features a 3D multicompartmental poroelastic framework, patient-specific brain anatomy representations and continuous waveforms of internal carotid and vertebral arteries, which are used as a means of personalizing the boundary conditions that feed the arterial compartment of the in-house poroelastic solver. Results are shown comparing CSF/ISF clearance and accumulation in two males of similar age, both are non-smokers, however one is more active and is diagnosed with MCI and experiences less sleep.
