Project Type MQP Submission date 2007-04-25 Authors Ritul Gupta, BE Trisha A Josephs, BE Jayr Manjikian, BE Walter C Uchendu, BE URN E-project-042507-233756 Title Development of a Pulsatile Flow Generator and Analysis of Wave Propagation in Blood Vessels for Implementation in the Early Detection of Arterial Disease Advisor Savilonis, Brian James, ME Availability unrestricted Abstract
The objective of this project was to design a pulsatile flow generator for the analysis of wave propagation in blood vessels for implementation in the early detection of arterial disease. Latex iliac artery models, varying in arterial compliance and degrees of stenosis, were studied ex vivo utilizing the system at 1 Hz (60bpm) to validate the systems physiological functional capabilities. Validation methods proved successful as the physiological models produced waveform variances with changes in arterial wall mechanical properties and morphology.
