One of the challenges in blood flow modeling is
determining boundary conditions such as peripheral
resistance. More detailed knowledge regarding the
morphology of the cerebral arterial tree could help in
setting correct boundary conditions. Therefore, in this
study a novel approach of scanning cerebral arterial
casts with 7 tesla MRI was explored for gaining more
detailed insight in the morphological features of the
cerebral arterial network. The results show that
ultrahigh-resolution MRI enables accurate measurement of
the human cerebral vascular casts. In the future, we
want to apply this technique for accurate modeling of
the cerebral arterial vasculature.
