Boundary conditions investigation to improve computer simulation of cerebrospinal fluid dynamics in hydrocephalus patients

Abstract

Seifollah Gholampour et al. develop a computational model to examine the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in hydrocephalus patients and healthy controls, and simulate how different biophysical parameters can influence CSF dynamics in the brain. Ultimately, their results could be used to better examine the CSF dynamics in a healthy or hydrocephalus brain, without the need for invasive procedures.
