Abstract

In vitro patient-tailored anatomical model of human cerebral artery, for presurgical simulation and medical training of intravascular neurosurgery, is presented. Lumens of vasculature are hollowly and precisely reproduced within a transparent elastic silicone structure, based on CT (computed tomography) or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) angiography. Furthermore, Several material properties (elastic modulus, Poisson´s ratio and friction coefficient) of arterial tissue are precisely reproduced. Consequently, proposed anatomical model should serves as an innovative platform for simulating intravascular intervention in purpose of diagnosis, surgical planning, preclinical testing and other various purposes.
