RBF Morph attended the VPH2022 conference which took place in Porto, Portugal, from 6 to 9 September, 2022.

The VPH2022 conference focused on: “Virtual bodies for treatment development and clinical trials” and touched the following main topics:

• Machine learning, big data and artificial intelligence
• Translation from in silico to clinical
• Computational biology and evolutionary genomics
• Molecular computation

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can be used to compute various hemodynamic factors for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), which may be used to assist with the risk assessment. Variability in the shape of the AAA lumen may arise during segmentation of the lumen wall from the medical image data. The resulting variation in local geometrical factors, such as the diameter and curvature, may impact the rupture prediction. Therefore, the main aim of our joint work with University of Rome “Tor Vergata” is to estimate the effect of geometric uncertainty due to the segmentation process on WSS and wall pressure predictions.
