Model for pre-surgical intracerebral hemorrhage planning
The goal is to develop a Brain Phantom that Models clots within the brain for constructing a database of MR Images with known stiffnesses.
Project Overview
Intracerebral brain hemorrhaging (ICH) is a dangerous condition that affects thousands of Americans annually. Previously, doctors were only able to stabilize these patients, but with new advancements, surgeons are able to remove blood clots formed from ICH. These clots have a wide range of material properties that impacts the surgical method of choice for removing them. Currently, there is no way to determine the stiffness of clots prior to surgery. A phantom that can provide images where a clot environment of known stiffnesses would be used to create a large database that surgeons can utilize to compare the MR images of their patients to MR images of the phantoms in the database, allowing them to determine the stiffness of their patients’ clots and therefore the appropriate surgical method of extraction.
