A surrogate model for plaque modeling in carotids based on Robin conditions calibrated by cine MRI data

We propose a surrogate model for the fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problem for the study of blood dynamics in carotid arteries in presence of plaque. This is based on the integration of a numerical model with subject‐specific data and clinical imaging. We propose to model the plaque as part of the tissues surrounding the vessel wall through the application of an elastic support boundary condition. In order to characterize the plaque and...
