Machine learning-based biomechanical analysis for thoracic aortic aneurysm rupture risk assessment

PROJECT NARRATIVE We propose to develop a machine learning-based biomechanical analysis approach for rupture risk assessment of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA). This study will lead to a breakthrough in the fields of cardiovascular computational modeling and applied machine learning, provide new insights on how to better assess TAA risk, and reduce death by the silent and sudden killer of TAA disease.
