Dr. Thomas Frauenfelder
from the Institute of
Diagnostic Radiology,
University Hospital of Zürich
in Switzerland has received the
“Prix Jubilee 2003” of the Swiss
Society of Radiology, a prestigious
award for his work on
cardiovascular flow. Dr.
Frauenfelder illustrated that
fluid-structure interaction (FSI)
simulation with FiDAP is a helpful
tool to support interventional
radiologists in their
daily work. This emerging technology
can be integrated in
the process of virtual stent planning.
It allows doctors to evaluate
pathologic vessels, such
as an abdominal aortic
aneurysm with a risk of rupture,
and to visualize the benefits
as well as possible
weak points of interventional
therapy.
