Vortex Analysis of Intra-Aneurismal Flow in Cerebral Aneurysms

Table 1

A summary of three vortex core parameters in all 10 IA cases: average vortex volume, mean and standard deviation of the number of vortex cores across the cardiac cycle, and mean and standard deviation of DVO across the cardiac cycle. The data are presented as mean ± one STD.
