Aneurysm detection and growth monitoring through non-invasive peripheral measurements.

Lead Research Organisation: Swansea University
Department Name: College of Engineering

Abstract

This project involves the development of pulse wave haemodynamics models, their numerical solution, and associated wave theory, to develop novel methods for aneurysm detection by using non-invasive peripheral measurements. These physics-based models will then be augmented by machine-learning techniques to increase both accuracy and robustness. Finally, methods to infer/monitor aneurysm growth from frequent semi-continuous peripheral measurements will be developed so that the predictive models can inform on the timing of an intervention prior to aneurysm rupture.
