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

Figure 8

Histogram comparing wall stresses based on approx. 6,000 points around the rupture site. Bars of the constant WT configuration (indicated by the hatching) show a much lower stress level in the rupture zone, compared to the values found with patient-specific wall thickness. The dashed (constant WT) and solid (patient-specific WT) lines depict the mean stress found in the considered region of interest.
