Fluid-Structure Simulations of a Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysm: Constant versus Patient-Specific Wall Thickness

Figure 7

Histogram comparing wall stresses based on approx. 29,000 points in the aneurysm wall. The single bars indicate the number of points in a wall stress range of 500 Pa. As illustrated by the vertical lines, the average stress value obtained with the constant wall thickness configuration (dashed line) nearly matches the level obtained in the patient-specific configuration (solid line).
